Hydrus is a highly compact and portable AUV that has been designed specifically to capture high-resolution underwater images and video combined with precise geo-referenced data. It features a 4K 60 FPS camera coupled with powerful lighting, and utilizes tightly coupled USBL, DVL and INS sensors as well as acoustic and optical modems. The versatile underwater robotic vehicle can also create 3D RGB point clouds by combining camera imagery with sonar and navigation data.
Thanks to the system’s open architecture, it can be enhanced with custom software applications to provide additional capabilities such as AI and machine learning. Capable of operating down to 300 metres, Hydrus is ideal for surveying, inspection, environmental monitoring, oil and gas applications, and more.
