If you saw the 2013 movie with Tom Hanks called “Captain Philips,” you will know that Mark was the Commanding Officer of the USS Boxer, which was the ship sent to rescue Captain Phillips. The movie was billed as “an American Thriller film” based on the 2009 rescue of the crew and Captain of the US Flagged MV Maersk Alabama, which was hijacked by Somali Pirates. It was the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. Mark will recount his personal experience and give the club the inside account of the real story. The movie is only the beginning of the rescue saga. He will literally tell us where the bodies are buried.
Besides his Command of the USS Boxer, the flagship for the Commander, Task Force 151, Captain Cedrun was Commanding Officer of the USS Peleliu while it participated in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief operations for the flood victims in Pakistan and combat operations in Afghanistan in support of OEF. From April 2012 to his retirement in June 2014, Captain Cedrun served as the Assistant Chief of Staff for Commander, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet. During this time, Captain Cedrun served as the Deputy Commander, Expeditionary Strike Group FIVE, deployed to Bahrain.

UCSD Coordinated Robotics: from ideation, to prototype, to IP, to market
2015-02-05 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Professor Thomas R. Bewley, UCSD Flow Control & Coordinated Robotics Labs, will discuss how robotics is being radically transformed by modern cellphone electronics and software, 3D design tools, 3D printing, custom printed circuit board fabrication, and crowdfunding. We will explore how situational awareness and feedback control can help small, simple vehicles overcome large, complex obstacles, and how new algorithms for coordinating squads of agile robotic vehicles can help protect human life, grow food, and better respond to environmental hazards like fires, contaminant plumes, and hurricanes.
Professor Bewley currently works at the intersection of semi-autonomous agile robotics and the analysis, estimation, and forecasting of environmental flows using advanced control theory and numerical methods. His Coordinated Robotics Lab is developing an array of clever vehicles to achieve maximum agility with minimal complexity, and is coming to market with a number of small toy and educational robotic vehicles in collaboration with WowWee Robotics. His Flow Control Lab is developing new algorithms for weather-forecasting class problems like state estimation and adaptive observation in environmental contaminant plumes, and in-situ monitoring of developing hurricanes using buoyancy-controlled balloons. In short, Prof Bewley’s team is exploring how situational awareness and feedback control can help small, simple vehicles overcome large, complex obstacles, and how new algorithms for coordinating squads of agile robotic vehicles can help grow food, protect human life, and better respond to environmental hazards.
