Hydrus

Description

• Advanced Navigation and Communication Systems
  • DVL (Doppler Velocity Log): Measures the vehicle’s velocity relative to the seabed.
  • USBL (Ultra-Short Base Line): Provides absolute positioning and time synchronization.
  • INS (Inertial Navigation System): Fuses navigation and positioning data for enhanced accuracy.
  • Acoustic and Optical Modems: Enable high-speed communication both above and below water.
• Autonomous Operation
  • Hydrus is designed for fully autonomous underwater missions, featuring obstacle detection and collision avoidance systems.
• Imaging Capabilities
  • Equipped with a 4K camera that captures high-quality georeferenced footage at 60 frames per second.
  • Dynamic lighting and AI image processing enhance image quality, even in low light and turbid conditions.
  • Capable of creating 3D RGB point clouds by integrating imagery with sonar and navigation data.
• Compact and Affordable Design
  • One of the smallest and most affordable AUVs on the market.
  • Fully encapsulated polymer construction ensures reliability and minimal maintenance.
• User-Friendly Mission Control
  • Features an intuitive point-and-click 3D map interface for mission planning, allowing untrained operators to design complex missions easily.
  • AI assists in navigation and image quality control during missions.
• Open Platform Architecture
  • Users can integrate custom software as a payload, providing full access to the camera, sensors, navigation, and control systems.
  • Supports machine vision and AI applications for tasks like object localization and classification.
