Drones Capture Information
Drones capture information about marine life in Australian waterways
Drones are being tested in Australian waterways to capture information about marine life and inspect underwater equipment.The underwater ROVs or drones can double as a dive buddy, scanning for information in marine settings and carrying out vital inspections on pipes, hulls and water tanks.The remotely operated vehicles are increasingly being used overseas and are now being tested in Australia.
They can be fitted with a range of sensors and accessories such as gripper arms, sonars for low visibility inspections and search and rescue, water sampling, and scientific payloads.The drones can be lowered to 150 metres beneath the surface.”Something like this you can operate from 150 metres away, you’ve got underwater drones that can go to depths of one kilometre to two kilometres,” Sphere Drones CEO Paris Cockinos said.
