Current Underwater Drone Rated-depth of over 100m Used in technical diving for underwater imaging and exploration Various drones: Deep Trekker (US$ 4,800-12,500/Unit) Videoray (US$ 5,995/Unit) Seabotix LBV-150V ($33,000/unit) OpenROV(US$ 1,200/Unit) These ROVs are not made for Recreational Divers

Autonomous Diving Assistant Underwater vehicle (autonomous) designed specifically to assists divers with their difficult stuff

Where are we right now? Prototyping stage, working on the core technologies, such as Low cost underwater communication Computer vision and tracking Control system Propulsion system Navigation system Mechanical design and waterproofing Moving into industrial design and manufacturing stage Manufacturability Creating sleek-looking robots
