The State University of Education presented an unmanned surface vehicle called "Tiamat". It is designed to automate the monitoring of water bodies. This was reported by the press service of the National Technology Initiative (NTI) Platform.
The device has three research models of various sizes and weights. Each model is designed for a specific task: bathymetric and 3D surveying, determining the area of pollution and signs of violations in the composition of water, as well as providing online water quality control. Machine vision technologies ensure autonomous operation and automate environmental patrolling of water bodies.
The device can be equipped with various equipment (echo sounders, probes and sonar), it uses machine vision technology. "Tiamat" can be useful in search and rescue operations on the water, as well as for collecting data in real time and performing tasks in conditions dangerous to humans.
Without the participation of an operator, such a drone can move along a predetermined route, monitor the environment and transmit signals about violations from the protected area. It is suitable for studying physical and chemical processes. The installation of various equipment will allow you to explore the bottom relief, collect information about other characteristics of the water surface, including the content of oxygen and salts.
Earlier www1.ru reported that an underwater drone for demining the sea area was developed in Russia.
