01 ROBOSEA ROBO-SHARK

This underwater drone (see previous page) not only looks like a shark (and, at 7ft 2in in length, it is the size of one), it also moves like a shark. Its unique mimicry allows it to get closer to underwater creatures, which in turn means you get a better view of aquatic life. At around 165lb it’s pretty hefty, but it does have automatic obstacle avoidance and a multi-joint caudal fin that reduces water noise. Top speed is 10 knots, and it can be used at distances up to 1.2 miles and depths of 1,000ft. Battery life is two hours, and it can also be fitted with nearly any camera, communication or sensor rig.
