What is an autonomous underwater drone. Dron with a Gopro camera that will allow a person to see the underwater world
Drones are called unmanned devices, controlled remotely - it can be a flying, floating or any other robot controlled at a distance. For example, such machines are widely used by civil and military saules. Underwater drones are mainly used by scientists and rescuers to explore sea depths.
An ordinary person can also acquire a similar "toy" - the most common product that is rich in the market, can be called different kind of multicopters. As a rule, products are supplied with video cameras or other sensors that help control the tasks performed.
Types of drone
Underwater drones are not as common as air or ground, however, at the time of 2015, the technology is actively developing by private and military companies, so as unlike a weak and living person, the mechanism is able to transfer heavier loads, and during breakdown, it is always It can be repaired, this industry can be considered very promising. Of course, modern models Far from perfection, and their cost is well-known, however, as any new product appearing in the market. However, already now there are quite effective products that allow a number of complex tasks.
All remotely managed underwater techniques can be divided into 3 large categories:
- military drones - serve to dispose of marine mines, patrolling the territory of the parking lot of warships, for investigative and rescue purposes when flooding ships and other objects representing the value for the military
- research - Applied by scientific expeditions for the study of sea depths, caves, and other geological submarines, is also used to take soil samples and observation of the underwater biosphere.
- industrial - This type of drone is used mainly to maintain underwater elements of structures and communications.
Civil underwater drone trident
On the this moment, OpenRov actively promotes his version of the underwater drone - it is precisely it worth highlighting how the most advanced product available to ordinary people. The device received the proud title "Trident" (trident). The trident is considered the fastest robot, it develops the speed comparable at the speed of 8 more than the Olympic swimming champion, Michael Phelps - yes, it is such characteristics that the device developers themselves have led.
Another distinctive feature of the model is high maneuverability that allows you to stop and deploy it in counting seconds. Such qualities can be useful in extreme situations, for example, if necessary, to quickly detect a drowned person or dodge the collision. David Lang and Eric Stackpol, inventing the subject of discussion, conducted a successful experiment on connecting the controller from the PlayStation 4 game console, withdrawing streaming video on the monitor and BP glasses from Google.
As for the depth of immersion, it exceeds the staometer mark, permissible for ordinary person. The creators have already conducted studies of several deep-sea areas, in particular, the project was born as the desire of two friends to check the truthfulness of an ancient legend, which stated that in 1800, in California, a group of indigenous Americans hid an enno amount of gold at great depth. This event received resonance in the media, and was consecrated in USA Today.
To date, there are wireless and wired options. One of the distinguishing features of the project is the open source code. In fact, any engineer can use the drawings on the site to collect their own trident, which is why the development of technology has become difficult to track the process, so as it is not known how many modifications exists in the world. For the rest, the product is sold here, at a price of $ 849.
Practical application of underwater drones
The US Army has long been used by various kinds of unmanned cars. As a rule, underwater options are designed to conduct exploration of the area, detect enemy submarines, or work with mines. However, in a civilian environment, devices have much more potential for use. Robots are largely able to alleviate research projects related to the study of the hard-to-reach areas of the ocean, small caves in which a person is simply not passing. Dozens of researchers applied in practice the product from OpenRov - on the official website of the company even there is a section dedicated to the work done, with marks on the map.
Another promising industry is learning. In one of the interviews, David Lang, the founder of the company OpenRov, said he was looking forward to the day when any schoolboy could look at the ocean content without leaving the classroom. Natural science, biology, history is only a small part of sciences in which such technologies will contribute.
Repair and maintenance of techniques under depths. As a rule, these are cables and transport pipes. Getting to them are quite difficult and expensive. In extreme situations, the use of a managed robot is an ideal option for troubleshooting and damage.
Underwater drones in the military industry
In 2014, US Navy conducted more than 20 testing of unmanned combat submarines. According to the Ministry of Defense, almost all tests were piled by the fault of the imperfection of products produced by Lockheed Martin, which is one of the largest American contractors. The main task of the drone was in the safe undermining min, however, in the process of testing, problems constantly met in the remote control system. At the same time, as Joe Dogrti, which is a press secretary of Lockheed, at the moment their system can be considered the most perfect in the world, in addition noted that when testing drones, the VMS representatives exceeded the permissible restrictions for the device.
The US government was intended to allocate $ 864 million for the purchase of underwater unmanned combat vehicles, but a series of failures, stretching from 2010 to further financing the program and the existence of drones in the form in which they are now.
Industrial underwater robots
Laying fiber optic networks at the bottom of the ocean, which passes 90% of Internet traffic in the world, is carried out with special mechanisms. In fact, these are autonomous robots that fulfill the tasks in advance. Partially, they are controlled by operators from ships, however, most of the work is done under the program invested in advance. Such devices cannot be called full-fledged drones, as in fact, it is just a car, such as those engaged in assembling cars or televisions on factories. Looking at a different angle, they can be bolded to call the fathers of modern submarine drones, such a way of movement of movement, inspirers.
Such machines are equipped with 6 degrees of freedom and ends either by grippers or a nozzle for a specific operation, such as a welding electrode or cutting scissors. The most perhaps the famous and successfully used robot is robot sawfish (Fish saw). The task of the robot cut the trees that were once flooded. It cuts them with a chain saw (length of her 1.5 meters) Before cutting, the robot screws into the trunk of the tree at a distance of 15 cm from the cutting of the air cylinder, which takes out a tree to the surface. The operator controlled by the operator through the cable from the surface of the reservoir, through the cable (length of 200 meters) is powered for all systems.
Problems and disadvantages of underwater drones
According to the statement of Professor George A. Bekey, specializing in computer sciences, electrical engineering and biomedical engineering, unlike ground and airless drones, their underwater fellow problems with stable communication. This is due to the presence of water around the device, strongly distorting signal. In addition, at the time of 2012, the US Navy did not have an acceptable power source capable of working effectively for a long time. It was in 2012 that, the Navy focuses on the development of technology capable of performing more than one task at a time, but as already written above, the projects face everything with the same navigation problems.
conclusions
Looking at modern achievements in robot buildings, it becomes clear that underwater drones are far from their land and air fellow. At the same time, it is safe to say that with the current speed of technology development, humanity is waiting for many achievements in this area. On the way to perfection and efficiency, there are always many difficulties, but turning on the story, it becomes clear that there are no insurmountable obstacles, and there are always people who can break stereotypes and make a right step towards success.
What are the possibilities of unmanned cars in 10 years? Already are now actively developed by ways to use drones for the repair of technology and the extraction of valuable resources, and at least without a person it is not possible to risk our descendants own lifeworking in dangerous conditions.
What is "status-6"?
Let us leave completely unsolvable assumptions behind the brackets that there is no underwater drone, and everything around it is cooled, is one big demonstration of emptiness, disinformation, organized by Russian military. Such an assumption express some observers based on their logic on obvious oddities accompanying the very emergence of "status-6" among those who caused public attention.
In fact, the device was shown on a leaf of album-presentation during a meeting of high-ranking military with the President of the country during a television fleece. Those who visited this kind of events, perfectly know what it is impossible. Cameras have their own places, operators around the hall do not hang, pool journalists are also going to a separate hand. And most importantly, when it comes to not intended for the general public the subjects, the press is invited to the exit. So that the general leafs in front of the chambers of the Soviet presentations is close to the impossible ... or conceived.
Therefore, let's leave for the brackets with the hypothesis that the entire underwater drone is just a picture and explanation for it. As we recognize the fact that he was presented to the public specifically, so that American colleagues appreciate the beauty of the plan.
What is this beauty?
USA tighten the troops to the southern borders of Russia
Well, first, in the fact that something under the "status-6" vulture should exist. Dae desooy, but military intelligence USA (RUMO), too, bread eats no gift. The guys were so silent two years - obviously, they were helpful. If it were really about the drawing on the leaflet, until the official nuclear concept of the USA it would not have come.
Secondly, it is worth checking out the characteristics of the object with some leaks, which later completed the notorious picture. And marked on page 3 Presentations Next.
The project is being developed by the Central Design Bureau of Marine Equipment (CCB MT) "Rubin". For understanding this is already a lot.
The defeat of the important objects of the enemy's economy in the coast area and applying guaranteed unacceptable damage to the country's territory by creating areas of extensive radioactive contamination, unsuitable for the implementation of military, economic and other activities in these zones for a long time.
Third - specifications: Uninhabited underwater vehicle, capable of immersed to a depth of 1000 m, overcome distances to 10 thousand km and move with a speed of 56 knots, that is, 103 km / h. Any military sailor in the brain immediately clicks: the depth is inexpensive for any modern submarines, the speed is inaccessible, the radius of action allows the Russian to destroy the US Fleet database in San Diego, without leaving the sea and without breaking from a cup of coffee.
For completeness, the impression is indicated, however, and possible carriers of such a "torpedo": submarines of the project 09852 "Belgorod" and the project 09851 "Khabarovsk".

And then there was a leak that "status-6" will be able to carry nuclear combat part Keeping up 100 megaton. For specialists with whom "Tsargrad" consulted, it sounds ... Well, strange. In principle, nothing is impossible, and in the museum of one closed city The layout of such a bomb created in 1961 is stored. More precisely, not the Bombs of the An602 with a capacity of 101.5 megaton, and so under the same literary, which was made in kind, with a capacity of 50 MT. For this from the process nuclear reaction Solved one component - "Jekyl - Heyda Reaction", that is, the division of uranium nuclei under the action of rapid neutrons formed by the first, thermonuclear reaction. Uranus was replaced by lead from considerations, firstly, an indispensable too large radioactive infection, and secondly, due to real concerns, something wrong with the whole planet.
And fears were not in vain, as shown tests. Only fire ball The explosion reached a diameter of almost 10 km. The shock wave triggered the globe three times. The explosion mushroom rose to a height of 67 kilometers; The sound heard him on Dixon - almost 1000 km from the landfill on the new land.
So the question of 100-MT warhead on the underwater drone causes only the shrug of the shoulders from those in those in the subject, not to mention technological problems when returning to the production of this kind of ammunition.
Political component
Geopolitical Genius Putin: We are in the Mediterranean
But the idea seems not so much military as political and economic. Americans are quite realists and understand no worse than the middle sofa strategist that such a weapon is actually the weapon of the day. Just to lie on the bottom near the US Navy base in Norfolk do not allow the agreement. It's just that way to shoot ... Well, there is an obvious noise of the body with a diameter of six to seven meters, carrying under water at a speed of 100 km / h. Just so quietly swim near the US shores - so the Americans have a well-developed tracking system. Although I gave the epic failures a couple of times, when the Russian submarines were killed almost at the mouth of Potomak.
The purpose of such an apparatus is rather not military, but political: in fact, "reset" all the US strategic armed projects.
In fact, indicates, for example, the famous Military Observer Igor Korutchenko,
considering the desire of the United States to create a missile defense system for the interception of Russian intercontinental ballistic missilesObviously, our military leadership thinks how to solve the issue of defeating the enemy in the event of a real war, including using non-traditional means of delivering a nuclear charge to the territory of the enemy.
As soon as this problem is solved - and just its "status-6" decides that it is non-traditional and radically, - the entire American system is losing its meaning. Depreciate.
Similarly, the entire American concept of a quick global disarming strike is depreciated. Well, let's say, "Tradeny" several positions of the Ivanovo division of the RVSN, the majority of Yarsa did not take off, and the boosters are harvested by anti-cancers, generously scattered around the world. But with the underwater drone, no one will do anything at a kilometer depth. And especially if he will act simultaneously with the rockets delivered to the coast, and even the US ports themselves in typical cargo containers.
In general, it turns out that all the US Armed Forces for decades are depreciated. Decades America built a system of unrequited nuclear attack on the USSR / Russia. That is, this, in which the return damage would be excluded or minimized. And every time it did not work. So far could bomb with strategic aviationRussians could answer by the seizure of Europe, that is, relieving the United States in the sea from the mainland "Hartland". Unacceptably. Then the bet was on atomic submarines. Russians again answered - the creation of missiles as a means of delivering nuclear combat units in the United States.

Today the bet was made on the first global non-nuclear strike with the systems about as protection of its territory and atomic bombs A new generation, brought to Europe as a means of protecting Europe from Russian ground troops.
And now "Status-6" by its appearance on TV screens devalues \u200b\u200bthis US strategy. They built, as they say, built, and the Russians still found a way to deliver their cold revenge on their intended purpose! And after all, at the same time, the main thing: they do not try to try especially! To undermine just a dozen ports on both coasts, cause economic shocks, and the rest of the Americans commemorate themselves. If a simple flood turned out to be enough for them to defeat New Orleans, what do they create with the country after the man-made tsunami in New York?
And already need to think not about the first global impact, but on how to build a system of protection against underwater drones of Russians along the entire coast North America. And this is the system of tracking the underwater environment across the entire marine border, the creation of means of response and suppression, restructuring of the continental protection system (who said that Drone will be only to undermine, and not, say, the missile will let the rocket and civil defense.
Well, the costs are unseen!
And then, if you, swohav a bunch of money in unproductive expenses, Pot and sat down to overturn a cup of whiskey, "Sarmat" with a dozen hypersonic heads of Yu-71 are poured from the southern pole, and you repeat the entire system about circular defense again. If you have time. And you think:
Maybe the russians were right when they were offered to live together?
No wonder, a former employee of the US Defense Ministry, Mark Schneider, expressed this one of the publications of the sense of Americans:
"Status-6" is the most irresponsible program for creating a nuclear weapon that Putin's Russia came up with.
Yes, buddy! And there is! Only with one amendment: not the most irresponsible.
And the most retaliatory.
Fishing goes to a fundamentally new level of development. Recently, the presentation of the new and in all respects of a unique drone, which will allow to fish as ever effectively and interestingly.
Fishing was one of the first ways to get meal for a person intelligent and one of the most effective. Over the time of deep ancient times, fishing has passed a big way, changing the eyelids from the century. And when it would seem, when you think about something ingenious fishing rods and spinning no longer succeed, the engineers still found how to please and surprise. So craftsmen from PowerVision Robotics Corporation decided to make fishing XXI century a little robotic. The result of their work was the newest underwater drone called PowerRay Underwater Robot. Presented the novelty was at the exhibition household electronics CES 2017, which traditionally passes in Las Vegas.
What is the novelty?
New technology, namely PowerRay was created in order to carry out a revolution in the field of amateur, extreme and professional fishing. It also allows you to significantly increase fishing efficiency. All this became possible due to the fact that Dron joined several useful fishing (and not only) devices at once and made it possible to use a series. modern technologies When fishing, including in purely entertainment purposes.
So, in the underwater drone there is a Sonar, which is used to search for a catch. Its range is 131 foot, and the scan accuracy is 4 inches. Maximum depth Sonar immersion - 98 feet. It is important to note that Sonar himself can be removed from the drone and use separately. The scan results are transmitted to fisherman in real time.
A natural question will be the question of what PowerRay works with? You can synchronize any mobile device with drone. You can also connect virtual reality glasses to it, as a result of which it is possible to see what it happens under water. Of course, it is possible to do this with a 4K UHD camera with a 100-degree wide-angle lens.
In continuation of the topic, if you do not see them with your own eyes.
Today, drones that rise to the air and leading aerosomyle have already become familiar, but under the water, such devices on remote control until recently did not look at recently. But with the advent of the new gadget, the situation will change - now you can see what is happening in the underwater world.
A group of American inventors presented a budget drone project for underwater video. The result of two-year work was called seawolf. The device is distinguished by a low price, simplicity in maintenance and management. The undoubted advantage of the gadget is the ability to use it with the Gopro Action Camera.
The Gopro chamber is installed behind the transparent acrylic shield in the nose of the underwater drone. The installation turret allows you to rotate the chamber at an angle of up to 90 degrees. Drone itself can dive with a depth of 10 meters. The actual immersion is 30 meters, but in this case the device may be lost.
Under water, drone is moving at a speed of about 1.6 nodes, which is comparable at a speed of 3.3 km \\ h. The device works on a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 5000-mAh, which provides up to 50 minutes of autonomous work. The robot is equipped with several lamps for illumination of underwater space.
Underwater drone control is carried out using a remote control with LCD display. There is also the ability to connect an underwater device to a cable that will reach it under water. This allows you to significantly extend the life of its performance, as well as increase the level of security in the event of a loss of control or communication. The cost of SeaWolf is 1000 US dollars.
Recently, unmanned drones apply more and more different areas. About how, you can find out in one of our previous reviews.
Underwater drone will replace his eyes, hands and legs where a person is waiting for a real danger or inability to get to the target. The device is intended for horizontal and vertical movement to the closer to the review of hard-to-reach areas under water. Will military technologies inspired the developers of the first hydro-robots or electronic toys, it is now difficult to determine. The device has found the use of not only advanced fishermen and hunters for underwater beauty. The new invention is increasingly using salvation services and underwater scouts. Underwater treasures are quiet and imperceptibly adjacent to them. We will consider the top 3 of the best underwater drones in today's review.
Underwater drone Powerray.
PowerVision continues its innovative developments in the field of self-deviating cameras. Having exhausted the topic of "flying eggs", the inventors decided to conquer the aquatic element. As a result, a submarine drone PowerRay appeared.
- Appearance and equipment. Before you buy an electronic "Turtle" from PowerVision, decide which one of the three options will suit you the most. All three models have an excellent optics on board (ZEISS) and a video camera that writes to 4K format. To date, this video standard of ultra-highly clarity gives the best picture. Dron PowerRay Explorer ("Researcher", the basic model) is equipped with a 50-meter cable connecting it with a base station float. PowerRay Angler ("Fisherman", a mid-level model) is much smarter than the "researcher". "Fisherman" has on board the "Firefly" to attract fish. The PowerRay Wizard model ("Cudesman", the most expensive and advanced model) is really able to work wonders, showing the underwater world in real time. Each of the drones weighs about 3.8 kg, having dimensions: 465x270x126 mm. The weight of the base station does not exceed 0.2 kg. PowerRay package also includes a remote control, a hydrolactor, a camera and charger. The technologies of drone control are not yet so developed to leave it without leash. The cable does not allow him to be knocked down from the path caused by a strong flow, passes power and video signal.
- Functionality. Let's start with the underwater drone PowerRay. It is able to immerse themselves to a depth of 30 m. The lifting speed is 0.4 m / s, and the maximum movement rate in the aqueous thickness is 2 m / s. By the way, the battery life (1-2 hours) depends on speed. Photo and video camera drone running on the CMOS matrix (size 1 / 2.3 inches), having an ISO 100-1600 sensitivity range. It can take pictures (maximum resolution of a picture of 12 megapixels, 4000x3000) and video recording in 4k and Full HD, in MP4 and MOV formats. Serial shooting is done with speed 5 frames / s. The selection of shooting modes, formats and permissions is carried out through the remote control, resembling a smartphone. Here we enjoy a real-time picture. The volume of the internal memory of the camera is 64 gigabytes. The base station is equipped with Wi-Fi, operating in the range of 30 m. The hydrolator (fishetteel) operates at 125 kHz, having an angle of sensing 30 °, and the depth is 0.6-40 m. The range of its connection with Wi-Fi exceeds 80 meters. The hydrolyator is equipped with 6 LED flashlights. In general, it can be used to independently swimming, disconnecting from the drone, but not from cord cord. Measure the temperature of the water, the depth and level of frying the fish (there is such an indicator). The measurement results will be displayed on the console screen (if you enable this mode). The working temperature of the device varies from -20 to 65 degrees.
- Additional Information. Underwater drone Powerrey is an advanced version of the OpenRov Trident, which moved on the Kickstarter crowdfundion. Crowdfunding or public financing, provides strongest support for almost all underwater drone projects. Also additionally, it is worth noting the presence of a battery with a capacity of 6400 mAh.
The price of PowerRay in Russia from € 1.599 to € 2.099, depending on the model. Video review is presented below:
Underwater drone Ibubble.
This cute apparatus will obediently accompany the owner during diving and walks along the bottom. It is simply impossible to lose sight of its bright yellow housing and a transparent bubble that protects the camcorder. It is "Bulba" is a distinctive feature of Dron Ibubble and explains the name.
- Appearance and equipment. The unit has a streamlined shape, reminiscent of the Turtle, Fish Cambalu and Skat. As you know, these little animals are perfectly moving under water. The Gopro Hero 3 (4) chamber is tightly closed with a transparent hemisphere made of durable plastic. The camera has a backlight of two LED lights, 1000 lumens each. The American company Gopro specializes in the production of high-quality action cameras intended for active sports and recreation. The remote control of this model is a hand bracelet. This once again indicates that the drone was created, first of all, for divers. Here you can choose the video mode or photographing mode, control the drone movement and track sensor indicators. The 100-meter cable will be useful to you when you run the drone into an independent swimming, while remaining on the shore. In this case, the underwater drone management of IBUBBLE will be carried out with the help of joysticks. Dimensions of the device 50x35x25 cm, and the weight is about 5 kg.
- Functionality Underwater drone Ibubble. In the marking of the camera, we are reported that either Gopro Hero 3 can be mounted in the drone, or Gopro Hero 4. We will see what can we give a later model, although it is no longer the last today. The camera is capable of shooting high-grade video. Frame rate depends on the user-chosen permission. The main innovation of this chamber is a video photography 3840x2160 pixels with a frequency of 30 k / s. Full HD and HD modes are possible at a frequency of 120 k / s. For extremals there is a special mode that allows you to get a clear picture at 240 k / s. Also Hero 4 offers an extended shooting function that allows you to cover the maximum space for creating a frame. Another special mode is provided for low light conditions. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless transmission modules are built into the chamber. Get wonderful pictures and rollers on Android, Windows Phone or iOS. By turning on the tracking mode, you will force the camera to automatically follow the beast you selected and keep it in the observation field. The chamber has fixed swivel positions, both in the vertical and horizontal direction. The transparent hemisphere of the "Spa Tandra" allows you to view quite large spaces. When photographing, stabilization works, so your pictures will always be clear. Ibubble drone is able to dive to a depth of 60 meters and work completely autonomously, elegantly bypassing obstacles. You can control the device remotely at a distance of 25 meters. Cruising speed reaches 3.6 km / h. The charge of the ion-lithium battery is enough for an hour, but if you are an amphibious person and prefer a crowded diving, change the batteries almost on the go. The device automatically pops up when the charge ends.
- Additional Information. Underwater drone Ibubble is designed primarily for diving and divers enthusiasts. He is the continuation of your senses there and where you can not or do not want to swim. For example, a luxurious octopus attached around the corner of the cliff. It is unlikely that he will wait for you to come close to it to capture it. Aibabble drone will make it quietly and imperceptibly without breaking the rest and the natural state of the animal. Conducted tests show that maritime creatures do not pay attention to the yellow silent "fish", taking it for one of his.
Underwater drone Gladius Ultra HD 4K
China rapidly catch up with Japan and Korea in the development of new technologies, trying to take a nice-durable niche. The Gladius Ultra HD 4K drone did not accidentally be in the top 3 of the best underwater drones of 2017. The Chinese managed to embody in it the best achievements modern science Both techniques without refusing direct plagiarism.
- Appearance and equipment. This elegant, streamlined unit for observing life under water weighs about 3 kg. The design underwater drone glades ultra HD 4K reminds IBUBBLE - the same side cylinders for horizontal engines and a transparent case, protecting the "electronic eye". Its case is made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which moves with the help of four electric motors (or drivers, as they are called). Two of them are designed for immersion and ascembly, and two others - for horizontal movement. Having the same package, gladius is represented by two models - standard and advanced. In the standard model, the Wi-Fi range between the buoy and the control panel is 30 meters. At the same distance, the cable connecting buoy and drone is unwound. The same indicators in an advanced model reaches 500 m and 100 m values, respectively. Both options are equipped with two LED-Fireflies on 1200 lumens, SD card slot and two lithium polymer batteries. Dimensions of the drone in millimeters make up: 430x270x94.
- The possibilities of the underwater drone Gladius Ultra HD 4K. The control feature performs the joystick attached to the smartphone (not included). On the screen of your gadget, you control drone movement using a special application for iOS or Android. The transmission of signals and information from the camera is carried out in part with a wireless path (Wi-Fi between the base station and the joystick), and between the base station and the drone - by cable. The marking is that the Gladius Ultra HD 4K installed a super-sensitive camera capable of shooting in HD mode (resolution of 1080 pixels) and in the 4K video station. Observation online is possible thanks to 720p video stream. Naturally, the camera has a photograph function (16 MP). Send wonderful pictures on smartphones and tablets of friends. The submarine is developing speed 2 m / s. The duration of the charge of the battery depends on the operating conditions, so the time of their collaboration can range from one and a half to 3-4 hours.
- Additional Information. Chasing Innovations, which created the underwater drone Gladius Ultra HD 4K, is based on the former Engineer of the largest Chinese brand in the field of telecommunications Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. Underwater drones, as the vast majority of innovative ideas, are developed and produced on the basis of crowdfunding, that is, the social and folk initiative. Gladius is one of the projects of Indiegog financing site. By making a prepayment, you are therefore becoming a member of the Gladius Ultra HD 4K project. Accordingly, when buying a robot submarine, you will get a substantial discount at a price of 599 USD.
The price of the underwater drone Gladius Ultra HD 4K in Russia - 1.399 USD, and advanced configuration - 1,699 USD. More about the device in the video below:
Military experts carefully observe the activities of startups. MIC of Russia is already developing an underwater robotic autonomous uninhabited glider apparatus, capable of detecting and spying behind submarines. However, the military glader is unlikely to interest ordinary citizens. The market of underwater drones actively masters the electronic toy industry. It is possible that soon the toy robot submariner will not differ from the "adult" analogue. Developers are engaged in finding new solutions and, it is quite possible, in the near future we have been awaiting a breakthrough into the world of new, incredible opportunities.
