Visiting Halifax

Just a short blog entry this week as I traveled down to Halifax today for some meetings, and forgot to bring my laptop charging cord, so the battery level is getting low. In the afternoon, I met up with a team of students at the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) that are working on a project to design and build an automated sensor deployment mechanism for deploying sensors off the side of AMOS to depths up to 30 m. Here we are standing outside the COVE building:

From left to right are: Alfred White (instructor), myself, Raj Patel, Chuck Taylor, Maya Anuraj, Stephane Kirchoff (instructor). 

We had a good discussion about possible design ideas and I showed them the small demo anchor that I had put together last week.

After that I drove over the bridge to attend an event sponsored at Innovacorp for local small businesses to meet up with local student talent and have a bite of pizza. This event was packed with lots of amazing businesses and students. Each business had just one minute to talk about what they were about and what they were looking for in terms of hiring. After that the students walked around and met up individually with all the business owners.

In Nature Robotics Ltd. is looking at hiring a student to help out with sales and marketing efforts, starting with a term position in January. The ideal candidate should have great communication skills, have some technical background, and be able to work well independently. If you or someone you know might be interested, please send me a resume: murray@innaturerobotics.com.
