Collaborate Disseminate
Back in 2016, we told you about the iBubble, an underwater drone that autonomously follows and films scuba divers. Well, it now has a more capable industrial-use big brother, known as the Seasam.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: Underwa… Continue reading Seasam drone autonomously follows divers and performs underwater tasks
Although underwater drones are capable of performing a variety of tasks, getting them to the “dive site” can still sometimes be challenging. A new system is designed to help, by using an aerial drone to transport and deploy an underwater drone.Continue… Continue reading Amphibious system combines a multicopter with an underwater drone
DARPA has awarded Phase 2 contracts in its Manta Ray program, which aims to build a series of underwater drones capable of taking on long-range, long-endurance, autonomous ocean missions without any human support for charging, maintenance or logistics…. Continue reading DARPA moves to phase 2 in long-endurance Manta Ray drone program
Despite ongoing advances in the field of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the devices have remained tethered to the surface via communications cables. Such is not the case with the ExRay, however, which uses light instead.

As compared to true ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), less-expensive underwater drones tend to be aimed mainly at hobbyists. The Geneinno T1 Pro drone, however, is designed to perform some major-league underwater tasks.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones… Continue reading Geneinno’s T1 underwater drone goes Pro
When seeing an underwater drone for the first time, some people say “That would make a great fish-finder!”. The problem is, the device’s surface-located user can’t always tell where the drone is, relative to themselves. That’s where the Chasing F1 Fish… Continue reading Aquatic drone drops its camera to look for fish
When it comes to remote-control “underwater robots,” there are consumer drones at one end of the spectrum, and full-on industrial ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) at the other. The new Chasing M2 ROV, however, appears to fall somewhere between the two… Continue reading Chasing M2 could be your personal ROV
Diving into the autonomous submarine race, DARPA has awarded contracts to three companies as part of its Manta Ray Program. Intended to support a new generation of long-duration, long-range Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), the end goal is to produc… Continue reading DARPA awards contracts for Manta Ray autonomous submarine program
Last year, Chinese startup Youcan Robot successfully crowdfunded its BW Space underwater drone. Now the company is back, with the upgraded BW Space Pro model. Among other things, it features a 6X optical zoom lens…
