It’s no submersible PC, but Hydrus, an autonomous underwater drone, combines a 4K camera, dynamic lighting and AI image processing to deliver high quality georeferenced footage. Fast movements can be captured using its 60fps recording mode, thus enhancing machine vision capability and allowing for AI classification as well as analysis to be performed directly onboard the drone.
Hydrus also contains a DVL, USBL, INS, acoustic and optical modem, all tightly integrated within its body. This means it can handle autonomous underwater missions while providing obstacle detection and collision avoidance. an intuitive point and click 3D map interface makes creating complex missions a breeze and lets untrained operators to use the system right out of the box.

The tight integration of the imaging and navigation systems allows Hydrus to capture high-resolution seabed images that are natively georeferenced. They can be transferred directly into industry-standard software for GIS applications, mosaicing, and photogrammetry,” said the company.
