Otter
The OTTER Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) is system for seabed mapping and monitoring of sheltered waters. The USV has electric propulsion and an integrated bathymetric survey system for surveys in waters such as smaller lakes, canals, rivers, ponds and harbour areas. Bathymetric surveys allow us to measure the depth of a water body as well as map the underwater features of a water body.

Overview
The USV has electric propulsion and an integrated bathymetric survey system for surveys in waters such as smaller lakes, canals, rivers, ponds and harbour areas. Bathymetric surveys allow us to measure the depth of a water body as well as map the underwater features of a water body.
The autonomous future is electric, and the OTTER is equipped with electric thrusters that are powered by 4 powerful, interchangeable battery packs. The battery solution is built upon off the shelf components, providing access to spare parts locally.
The vehicle Control Station (VCS) allows the surveyor to plan the missions in a maritime chart based Graphical User Interface and also monitor the mission and the data acquisition quality while the USV is underway.

The biggest mystery in the Universe could possibly be right here on Earth. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as much as 95% of the oceans and 99% of the ocean floor has yet to be explored.
A Quick Start Guide to Underwater ROVs. In this guide, you’ll learn about what defines a remotely operated vehicle, different types of ROVs, and what they are used for. Underwater ROVs are used to observe and interact underwater across a range of industries.
Multicopter(the best known example of them is quadcopter) drones and fixed-wing drones are two different type of drones that have similar but slightly different flight mechanics.In this article, I will speculate which one is better for carrying pizza or any other low density high volume payloads.
