After previously setting a Guinness world record for the longest distance traveled on the Earth's surface by a robot, Silicon Valley's Liquid Robotics today unveiled the latest version of its Wave Glider technology, an updated platform capable of autonomously prowling the world's seas while analyzing, processing, and transmitting data gathered from a wide variety of on-board sensors.
The new Wave Glider SV3 is essentially a self-powered sea-faring data center, a system that gives users the ability to investigate the world's water ways for months on end. The SV3 features a hybrid propulsion system, Liquid Robotics said, that can drive the Wave Glider on either wave or solar power. It also comes with a vectored thruster that lets the robot continue its missions in high seas and dead calms alike.
At its heart, the SV3 is meant to carry a heavy duty load of sensors designed to server everyone from the oil and gas industry to fisheries to coast guards and the military. Its power management s... [Read more]
