Quadroin AUV
The Quadroin is a new generation AUV
Quadroin is an autonomous sensor carrier for automated monitoring underwater missions with low-drag bionic design. Based on years of research, the AUV's shape and contour of a penguin-like spindle maximize its hydrodynamic performance.
With a S2C USBL Buoy together with one or an entire swarm of Quadroins there are limitless possibilities to what you can achieve!
High-speed vehicle for search, monitoring and communication support missions
Bionic design based on outstanding hydrodynamic properties of a penguin's body
Custom sensors payload
More than one Quadroin in the water can work together according to your wishes.
The Quadroin is a next generation AUV with low-drag bionic design
Combined automatically collapsible antenna increases endurance and communication range on the surface
Surface communication module with Wifi, 868 MHz radio and GNSS
Custom sensors payload
Payload capacity for various sensors and instruments
Fast and maneuverable at up to 5 m/s
The propulsion system includes 4 horizontal thrusters in X-shaped configuration
High-power flashlights for easy localization and recovery
Quadroin AUV
The artificial penguin swarm for ocean reaserch. The Quadroin is a next generation AUV with low-drag bionic design.

Object recognition ·
Object recognition is an advanced feature for Sonobot USV and UUVs.
The AI-based system is an extra module that runs directly onboard the vehicle and analyses raw side-scan sonar or video camera output.
