I was working on something similar, stoked to see this type of project making it out of the labs! The inspiration for most similar systems are industrial settings with automated bridge cranes which are fantastic, almost surgical when everything is symmetrical in the active environment.

Cheers!

I posted this yesterday, it was flagged.

Today, I am posting it again because I believe the HN readers will benefit from it. Why? The majority of HN readers work in IT or adjacent information fields; we communicate information with strings aka words.

Using the current POTUS opinions versus engineering decisions derived from carefully studied military research clearly puts the Navy at risk. Given that the consequences of following such opinions are known, one should ask why would the Navy have to acquiesce? How much longer can the ego/power-trip go unchecked before the nation suffers an irreversible blow?
Honest question: what type of insurance covers a catastrophic failure when "AI" is implemented like this?
