March 13th, 2026 – 12:00-1:00pm, EC4-2101A

ENVGO is a Waterloo-based startup developing electric hydrofoiling boats that “fly” above the water to dramatically reduce drag and enable efficient, zero-emission marine transportation. In this talk, ENVGO staff will discuss how computer vision and machine learning are being integrated into their development. Presenter April Blaylock (UW Mechanical Engineering B04, M07) is a co-Founder who leads the AI, computer vision, and autonomy development.
