Revolutionising Underwater Data Capture

Meet Hydrus, the autonomous underwater drone revolutionising underwater data collection by eliminating the barriers to its entry. Hydrus ensures that even users with limited resources can execute precise and regular subsea missions to meet their data requirements.

High-Quality Data

Featuring advanced sensors and a 4K camera, Hydrus delivers accurate, georeferenced video and imagery for 3D surveying and photogrammetry. It excels at collecting underwater data in dull, dirty and dangerous missions.

Single User Hand Deployed

Using Hydrus eliminates the need for large vessels, professional dive teams and complex user training. Its compact design allows a single user to deploy it quickly, saving valuable time for data collection.

Reduced Costs

Hydrus reduces seabed exploration and surveying costs by up to ~75% compared to divers and ROVs, enabling users to conduct more frequent and extensive surveys. Additionally, maintenance is easy and inexpensive.
