Whether you call them underwater drones or just small ROVs, high-end miniature remote-control submersibles are definitely gaining popularity. One of the latest and best-outfitted is Qysea’s impressive Fifish V-EVO.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, Tech… Continue reading Fifish V-EVO underwater drone takes the tech to new depths
Three years ago we heard about Oceanbotics’ SRV-8, a small yet highly capable underwater ROV (remotely operated vehicle). Well, it’s now got a much burlier bigger sibling, in the form of the SRV-8X Optimus.Continue ReadingCategory: Marine, TransportTag… Continue reading The Oceanbotics SRV-8X Optimus ain’t your grandpa’s underwater ROV
While aerial drones can travel long distances quickly, aquatic drones can explore underwater environments. The TJ-FlyingFish offers the best of both worlds, as it’s a flying quadcopter that is also able to make its way through the inky depths.Continue … Continue reading TJ-FlyingFish drone flies through the air and “swims” underwater
It may look like a fat torpedo, but there’s more than meets the eye with HII’s newly unveiled REMUS 620 medium-class naval Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, which is an autonomous robotic submarine that combines artificial intelligence with an operational r… Continue reading Long-range robotic submarine sweeps the waters for days at a time
US military contractor Anduril has signed a US$100 million contract with the Australian Navy, to design and deliver three iterations of an Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV). These drones will be as big as buses, but not watertight.Contin… Continue reading Enormous underwater military drone won’t be waterproof
While not nearly as expensive as full-on industrial ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), smaller underwater drones can still cost up to a few thousand dollars. The BentiX is designed to be different, as it could be yours for around US$999.Continue Readin… Continue reading BentiX drone is designed for underwater explorers on a budget
When remotely controlling an underwater drone in flowing water, it can be difficult to keep the vehicle’s camera trained on a specific target. A new AI-based vision platform, however, allows Qysea Technology’s existing FiFish drones to do so automatica… Continue reading AI upgrade lets Qysea underwater drones visually lock onto targets
Consumer drone technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, yet we mostly just hear about aerial drones. Underwater drones “are a thing” too, and I recently had a chance to try out one of the best – Chasing Innovation’s Gladius Mini S.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Review: Gladius Mini S sets the standard for consumer underwater drones
The ocean absorbs almost a quarter of the carbon dioxide generated by human activity, and in doing so chemical reactions take place that make its waters more acidic. Measuring this effect is possible to an extent with sensors fitted to stationary buoys… Continue reading Underwater Seaglider drone deployed to monitor ocean acidification
Back in 2020, we heard about the FiFish V6 underwater drone, which was a successor to the FiFish V3 model. Now the V6 is itself being bettered, by the new-and-improved FiFish V6 Expert.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: Underwater drones… Continue reading FiFish V6 Expert improves on an already-improved underwater drone
