Underwater drones
-
Back in 2020, we heard about the FiFish V6 underwater drone, which was a successor to the FiFish V3 model. Now the V6 is itself being bettered, by the new-and-improved FiFish V6 Expert.
-
Back in 2016, we told you about the iBubble, an underwater drone that autonomously follows and films scuba divers. Well, it now has a more capable industrial-use big brother, known as the Seasam.

Although underwater drones are capable of performing a variety of tasks, getting them to the "dive site" can still sometimes be challenging. A new system is designed to help, by using an aerial drone to transport and deploy an underwater drone.

Despite ongoing advances in the field of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the devices have remained tethered to the surface via communications cables. Such is not the case with the ExRay, however, which uses light instead.
-
As compared to true ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), less-expensive underwater drones tend to be aimed mainly at hobbyists. The Geneinno T1 Pro drone, however, is designed to perform some major-league underwater tasks.

When seeing an underwater drone for the first time, some people say "That would make a great fish-finder!". The problem is, the device's user can't always tell where the drone is. That's where the Chasing F1 Fish Finder Drone comes in.
-
When it comes to remote-control "underwater robots," there are consumer drones at one end of the spectrum, and full-on industrial ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) at the other. The Chasing M2 ROV, however, appears to fall somewhere between the two.

Chasing Innovation is aiming to make underwater drones more affordable, with the Dory.

Chinese startup Youcan Robot is back with the upgraded BW Space Pro underwater drone.
-
As is the case with their aerial counterparts, underwater drones may be fun at first, but after a while you'd likely want to actually DO something with them. Well, Chinese manufacturer Geneinno recently took a step in that direction, by unveiling a powered manipulator arm for its Titan drone.
-
Although there are presently numerous consumer underwater drones on the market, one that really caught our eye was Chasing Innovations' Gladius Advanced Pro. Now, the company has announced the smaller, lighter and cheaper Gladius Mini, which actually has some extra features.

It was just last year that Youcan Robot successfully crowdfunded its remote-control BlueWater 1 (BW1) underwater drone. Now, the Chinese startup is back on Kickstarter, with its diver-following BW Space.
