ok, whose stupid idea was it to film parts of this report with my feet in the waters of lake zurich? drones can hold their position in strong winds, this one can stay very still, even when the water around it is rushing past at three knots. and today, i get to see the latest upgrade to its low—drag shell and ai—powered control software, that adjusts its motors to counter turbulence. it's the newest version of this drone. it's pretty nippy, can travel at about four knots, and it has onboard cameras, but because the water is often far too murky to see what you're doing, it also has sonar, which it uses to build up a 3—d point cloud of the area. some of the applications this is being pitched at include mapping and today, underwater toe inspection. how are they looking? blue? actually, are they still there? i can't feel them. oh, god! groans time to take it for a dive. and for me to avoid hypothermia. take me on an adventure. show me the sites. as is common in robotics these days, andre is using a standard, familiar and, importantly, tried, tested and reliable games controller to steer th

lake, but i rarely see a chair. now, where did i leave my shoes? that is it from us from zurich, which is looking beautiful today. we had sunny skies in western scotland, and in northern ireland, temperatures reached 27, the hottest it's been all year. it was quite a bit cooler here at the oval for the test match, where we struggled with bad light. doesn't look quite so gloomy for saturday. very misty, murky conditions, though, in bristol, where we've seen rain pushing in earlier on in the night and into south wales as well, with some thunderstorms, too. that's going to be clearing away later, and it's going to be quite a warm start to saturday, muggy as well. and because of that we've got extensive low clouds, some mist and some fog around for england and wales, so things may improve a little. it may cheer up a bit, but there may not be too much sunshine around, more cloud producing a few showers here and there. looks dry for scotland, northern ireland, sunny for the most part, but that low cloud retreating back to the east coast of scotland keeping it cooler here. but in the sunshine in scotland, and northern i
