Seafloor Drones + LiDAR & AI for Pedestrians + Dental Photogrammetry + Construction Tech Adoption
Description
Welcome to The Re/Cap Podcast with Ellis Malmgren! This week’s ‘cappenings:
The queen of seafloor mapping circa the 1950s
Uncrewed autonomous ocean drones do work
Is ConTech adoption as easy as 3 steps?
AI & LiDAR are like a seatbelt for pedestrians and cyclists
Say awe for dentalgrammetry
An AEC Error of the Week so catastrophic, load bearing analysis was never the same
