Advanced Navigation is a leading manufacturer of high accuracy inertial navigation systems for Commercial and Defense applications. At Oceanology International they demonstrated their Hydrus Autonomous Underwater Vehicle which is designed to bring the drone revolution underwater. 🌊
Hydrus is a compact AUV designed for a variety of mapping, inspection and monitoring applications. Incorporating a 4K 60 FPS camera 📷 with powerful lighting, as well as tightly coupled USBL, DVL and INS, the underwater robotic vehicle is capable of carrying out missions in challenging subsea conditions.
Thanks to onboard AI-powered image processing that dynamically balances camera settings and lighting, the AUV delivers georeferenced footage with the highest quality and at 60 frames per second. Hydrus can also create 3D RGB point clouds by combining imagery with sonar and navigation data. 📡
A truly game-changing AUV.
