Everyone knows that about 70% of the surface of the earth is covered by the ocean. The ocean provides resources for human food, medicine, energy and important transportation routes, not to mention half of the oxygen we breathe.
But our understanding of the ocean is still far from enough. Today, Zhihu introduces the Pioneer underwater drone developed by Norwegian Blueye. With it, we will know a lot about the mystery and beauty of the underwater world. Just like the drone flying in the sky, the film taken by the drone is like the beauty that overlooks the whole earth and appreciates the world.
The Pioneer drone weighs less than 16 pounds and can sneak into the depths of 150 meters, eight times deeper than the best human SCUBA divers. It is also equipped with a high-definition camera (1080p, 30 frames per second), designed to work well in low light conditions and provides low latency video streaming. The battery capacity supports a minimum of two hours of underwater travel, connecting smart devices via wifi.
Pioneer's exploration in the underwater world can be controlled by controllers like video game consoles or smartphones, tablets, and can also be used with digital diving masks to fully immerse into the seabed experience. You can also share the dive site, let the friends or crew on the scene connect directly to the video stream, or watch it through online services and social media.
According to Blueye's official website, Pioneer drones are developed and developed in Norway. The environment is famous for its rough coastline, but with world-leading seabed expertise, Pioneer drones are developed and tested under harsh conditions in Arctic waters. .
BlueTec CTO and co-founder MarTIn Ludvigsen revealed that this spring the TNU Applied Underwater Robot Laboratory (AUR-Lab) ran their AUV REMUS under Swarbad Sea Ice for technical testing and biometric sampling. AUV is an autonomous and unconstrained pre-programmed underwater vehicle used to measure seawater variables and map the sea floor.
To assist with the test, the Pioneer underwater drone provided a lot of help under the ice. Pioneer's ice deployment is successful, the vehicle is running well in cold water, and Pioneer's low logistics solution simplifies underwater and ice operations.
Most professional-grade underwater drones cost between $5,000 and $10,000, but the Pioneer drone is only $3,000, which is good news for divers. Pioneer is currently available on the official website and is expected to begin shipping next year.
