Quadroin AUV
The Quadroin is a new generation AUV
Quadroin is an autonomous sensor carrier for automated monitoring underwater missions with low-drag bionic design. Based on years of research, the AUV's shape and contour of a penguin-like spindle maximize its hydrodynamic performance.
With a S2C USBL Buoy together with one or an entire swarm of Quadroins there are limitless possibilities to what you can achieve!
High-speed vehicle for search, monitoring and communication support missions
Bionic design based on outstanding hydrodynamic properties of a penguin's body
Custom sensors payload
More than one Quadroin in the water can work together according to your wishes.
Quadroin AUV
The artificial penguin swarm for ocean reaserch. The Quadroin is a next generation AUV with low-drag bionic design.
Object recognition ·
Object recognition ·
Object recognition is an advanced feature for Sonobot USV and UUVs.
The AI-based system is an extra module that runs directly onboard the vehicle and analyses raw side-scan sonar or video camera output.
