Cousteau: Environment
built 231 days ago
Cousteau is a project based on a matrix of undulating fibers, or “eels.†The fibers act independently as well as in an organized fashion. Equipped with sensors, they are aware of their environment and use movement to attract as well as to hide. Each cell communicates with the next, allowing them to operate independently as well as in clusters. The cells can be arranged in different formations, while still maintaining unity.

Cousteau died in Paris, France, on June 25, 1997, at the age of eighty-seven. While some critics have challenged his scientific credentials, Cousteau never claimed "expert status" in any discipline. But perhaps to a greater degree than any of his fellow scientists, Cousteau enlightened the public by exposing the irreversible effects of environmental destruction.

But perhaps to a greater degree than any of his more learned contemporaries, Cousteau enlightened the public by emphatically demonstrating the irreversible effects of environmental destruction.

Believing that the great white shark was much maligned and misunderstood, Fabien Cousteau decided to dispel those beliefs by becoming a shark himself. With a team that includes his sister, Celine, Peter Brown, a dedicated environmental activist, Mark Marks, a biologist and shark expert and stuntman/designer Eddie Paul, he built a shark submersible that looks, acts and moves like a shark.

Cousteau is a simple input/output device that monitors its surroundings and reacts to changes in its environment. Cousteau uses sensors to listen and to measure the proximity of a person. Cousteau reacts to stimuli by physical moving and changing its size. Cousteau consists of 4 (hopefully) 10 x 10 x 14" units made of acrylic, guitar string, servo motors, IR sensors, xBee radios, Arduino boards and other electronic gizmos.
