+The RoboDolf is an electric robot boat designed to conduct acoustic dolphin
+research in Belize. Acoustic and visual recording of dolphins is conducted to
+study dolphin vocalization gain insights into complex dolphin socialization. A
+robotic boat platform that was silent and had minimal visual impact on natural
+dolphin behavior was required, and drove the specifications for the RoboDolf. It
+was built for Rockeffeller University doing a joint research project with
+Hunter.

+I built it around 700 hours and coded a ROS like subscriber-publisher node
+system using the actor framework in LabVIEW. After this project I started using
+linux and ROS and haven't looked back :).
