Transforming Underwater Data Acquisition

Introducing Hydrus, an innovative autonomous underwater drone that is changing the landscape of underwater data acquisition.This technology breaks down barriers, allowing even those with limited resources to conduct precise and regular subsea operations tailored to their data needs.

Exceptional Data Quality

Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and a 4K camera, Hydrus provides high-quality, georeferenced video and images suitable for 3D mapping and photogrammetry. It is particularly effective in challenging underwater environments, including murky and hazardous conditions.

Effortless Single-User Deployment

Hydrus simplifies the deployment process, eliminating the necessity for large vessels, specialized diving teams, and extensive training. Its compact design allows a single operator to launch it swiftly, significantly enhancing the efficiency of data collection.

Cost-effective Solutions

This drone can reduce the costs associated with seabed exploration and surveying by approximately 75% when compared to conventional divers and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). This affordability enables users to perform more frequent and comprehensive surveys. Furthermore, its maintenance is straightforward and budget-kind.
