Hi Steemians.
Drones are a fantastic topic. There are different kinds of Drones available. Some of them drive, other fly and the last category is made for underwater use. This submarine drones are very interesting, because they are mostely controlled by wire not via a remote control like a flying system.
Today I want to introduce the Blueye Pioneer drone from the norwegian company Blueyerobotics – in my opinion one of the best available underwater drones.
The Blueye Pioneer is an impressive piece of technology. The drone, which weighs around 8 kilograms, is able to dive 150 meters deep and stay underwater for at least two hours on one charge. The Pioneer is equipped with a high-speed camera that is able to record Full HD videos with 30 frames per second. In addition, the submarine is equipped with bright LED lighting.
Of course, the design of the Pioneer is adapted to the requirements under water. It is hydro-dynamically designed and equipped with a powerful drive system. Two engines - one on each side - provide propulsion. In addition, there are vertical control nozzles that have been positioned so that no sand from the seabed is whirled up and affects the video image. The maximum speed of the drone is 4 knots, which corresponds to 2 meters per second. Find more information about the drone and Blueyerobotics right here: www.blueyerobotics.com
