This year drones are ruling the skies around the world. But why should they be limited to air?
O-Robotix,*a start-up from Menlo Park, California has just revealed it’s first underwater robot. The SeaDrone is a small capsule equipped with 360 degree camera and a custom designed turbine system.*The craft has a wealth of features, like automatic self-monitoring, real-time image stabilization, and much more. It’s all controlled with a simple iOS app which gives you the access to the*platform for storing and organizing the data it collects.
Although it does sound like a lot of fun, the SeaDrone is actually made main for*underwater exploration and inspection with*maritime and sea-based farming applications in mind.
The craft is advertised as smaller, lighter, simpler, cheaper and more durable than anything else on the market.*It fits in a case you can easily carry around which is a big advantage compared to other professional underwater devices.
If you’re in the market for an underwater drone, the basic version is priced at $2,299 with estimated delivery time in 6 months.
