Daily briefing for José Pinto

Marine robotics, underwater drones, AI, and useful productivity signals.

A compact scan of technology stories that are likely to matter for OceanScan-style work: autonomy, field robotics, software workflows, and the tools that make hard systems easier to operate.

The signal here is continued momentum around operational autonomy at sea: perception, endurance, reliability, and the boring-but-critical integration work that turns prototypes into field tools.

José angle: this is close to OceanScan territory — autonomy, mission robustness, operator tooling, data products, and how underwater systems become dependable enough for real work.

What an honor to pitch at delta v Demo Day at MIT! After an incredible summer in MIT’s flagship accelerator, delta v, I was honored to pitch Gander Robotics and unveil our autonomous underwater vehicles for the first time at Demo Day! In just three short month

The relevant angle is not the hype cycle; it is how AI is being embedded into systems that need to make decisions under constraints, uncertainty, and limited communications.

AI Coding Tools in Mid-2026: High Adoption, Low Trust, and What It Means for Developers

Useful from a software-engineering perspective because the best productivity tools are starting to compress routine work without removing the need for judgment.

José angle: worth scanning for ideas that reduce engineering friction without creating opaque workflows or fragile dependencies.

A robotic seagull with a 1,5 m wingspan! 🪶 A Chinese company has built a flapping-wing drone shaped like a gull. Fully waterproof, reportedly up to 54 km/h, with 8 to 10 minutes of flight time. Gulls evolved for exactly the environment this thing is meant to work

A potentially useful development for tracking technology shifts around robotics, AI, and autonomy.

José angle: look past the buzzwords and ask what would actually improve planning, supervision, fault handling, or post-mission analysis in field robotics.
