Unique features of Quadroin, an AI underwater reconnaissance drone
The Quadroin can dive to a maximum depth of 150 meters (492 ft), has a top speed of 18.5 km/h (11.5 mph), can carry a payload of up to 3 kg (6.6 lb), and is said to have a battery charge. 6 hours of lithium-ion battery will provide 10 hours of use at 7 km/h (4.5 mph).
With the addition of an AI-powered object recognition module, Quadroin detects objects detected by sonar or cameras. It is also part of the collision avoidance system. It also has a built-in Nortek Nucleus1000 subsea navigation system, which helps the robot track its location.
Like other AUVs, the Quadroin is designed to move autonomously along a pre-programmed underwater path. In addition to downloading data at the base normally, the Quadroin can transmit data via Wi-Fi or an optional Iridium satellite module. It uses a multi-function curved antenna that automatically flips out from the back of the AUV when it is on the surface.
EvoLogics says the new Quadroin will enter production in the fourth quarter of this year. The price of this underwater surveying drone has not yet been revealed. But it will vary depending on the additional accessories the customer wishes to install.
