ZENBOT ROV – UNDERWATER DRONE
Underwater Drone for Marine Survey, Aquatic Life Monitoring, Oceanography, Underwater Structure Inspection, and Entertainment
Underwater ROV’s can dive to the depth of more than 100m and stream HD video to the monitoring station above the surface. Powered with powerful thrusters and sophisticated on-board controller, our ROV, which is currently based on the BlueROV platform, can stabilize itself and maneuver under various conditions and collect useful data. In addition to the HD camera, we can add various underwater sensors, manipulators or a water sampler. We can also build custom ROV’s and solutions that can match your needs, including customizing the control software for specialized applications, including survey, monitoring or entertainment like an interactive tourist attraction at an aquarium.
This underwater ROV, which is based on the BlueROV platform, can dive up to 100m and stream HD video to the monitoring station on the ground or on a boat. Powerful thrusters and advanced attitude control system enable stable manoeuvres and data collection under various conditions.
Additional sensors such as sonar and various aquatic sensors can be mounted, as well as manipulators and sample collection mechanisms for underwater surveying.
We can also provide VR/AR interactive tourist attraction and edutainment solution on top of the ROV for use in aquariums and waterfront venues.
