[Product Introduction] A low-cost, highly customizable underwater probe

A low-cost and versatile remote-controlled unmanned submersible "BlueROV2"Added.

BlueROV2 is characterized by low cost and high customizability by modularization of open source software ArduSub and products.
It can be used for various purposes such as biological observation, environmental research, underwater archaeology, accident investigation, etc.
It is recommended for underwater surveys due to its excellent propulsion, pressure resistance, and salt resistance.

 

What is BlueROV2?

Low-cost and versatile remote-controlled unmanned submersible for sea exploration
Robust and highly expandable frame and various optional parts
High cost performance by providing products in sub-assemblies (*) and adopting OSS "ArduSub"
*BlueROV2 is a kit product that users assemble themselves.

[Reference – What is ArduSub] Attitude control firmware for open source underwater drones (ROV, Remotely operated underwater vehicle). It has a wide range of functions such as feedback stability control, depth/heading hold, and autonomous navigation. ArduSub https://www.ardusub.com/

 

Main usage examples of BlueROV2

BlueROV2 is suitable for surveying places where it is difficult for people to dive directly, such as water areas with poor visibility, polluted water areas, and narrow caves.
By combining optional sensors, grippers, thrusters, etc., it can be used in a wide range of fields such as topography exploration and sample collection as well as underwater photography.
Use cases are as follows.

• natural Science:
  Observation of aquatic organisms, investigation of topography and geology
• Underwater archeology:
  Investigate shipwrecks and submerged cities
• Resource development:
  Investigation of submarine resources and selection of construction sites for offshore facilities
• Safety and public safety:
  Investigating marine accidents and searching for evidence in the water
• creative:
  Taking underwater photos and videos

Actual usage examples are introduced on the manufacturer page.
