Blue Robotics BlueBoat – RS Aqua
The worlds most affordable robotic surface vessel
The BlueBoat is the world’s most affordable surface vessel for hydrographic surveys, robotic systems development, and scientific missions. Its weedless hull and propeller design, rugged construction, and compact transport size make it reliable and convenient to use, while its flexible electronics architecture, ample payload mounting areas, and open-source BlueOS software system make it an ideal platform for the integration of sonars and other sensors.
The BlueBoat is designed to carry any payload and the control electronics, batteries, and wiring are fitted into the hulls so that the space between the hulls is completely dedicated to payload integration.
Key Features
- Affordable and compact
- Easy to assemble
- Reliable and trustworthy
- Long-range radio that connects to the BaseStation box up to 250m away
- Up to 60 hours of continuous operating time
