2017-09-20
the Gladius is a smart underwater drone built for filming observing and exploring it is a portable and user-friendly device that is able to dive up to a depth of 100 meters all while filming in Full HD whether you are diving fishing island hopping or exploring the Gladius is an excellent tool for you it can fly like an airplane while in water with a super fast speed of up to four knots or 2 meters per second the unique Quatro thrusters design makes it able to nimbly move in all directions the Gladius comes with two built-in batteries which can last up to three to four hours on one charge weighing only 6.6 pounds and small size make it very portable as it can easily fit into a backpack or suitcase the built in full HD camera and LED lighting have been optimized for use and water which enables users to take high-quality 16 megapixel photos and 4k videos without any Distortion a remote controller and the app interface is quite simple and intuitive which is compatible for Android or iOS devices you can take pictures and videos and quickly share on different social media platforms the mobile Wi-Fi poi which floats on the surface is equipped with a 500 meters range wireless communication module which sends live image and data to your device this gives cladius a significant operating range we have already produced multiple prototypes of the Gladius in order to perfect its design the internal sealed cabin of glabius uses aluminium alloy materials with oxidation treatment to ensure it is waterproof and corrosion-resistant within 100 metres depth now Salida generators where does it down there humans exploration to ocean never ends but oceans are still full of mysteries to explore the yet unknown underwater world we created high quality ROV the CC ROV it equipped with four horizontal and two vertical thrusters allowing a high-precision control it can rotate on five axes or stay still to offer the best underwater experience grass production thomas supporters let's sail away with the CCR LV to explore the underwater world you what a filming took care of itself if you were able to swim explore and dive while your camera follow hi I'm Ben and this is Kevin well divers run to exploring marveling at the beauty of the ocean and bringing back memories of our underwater adventures if you are like us you know how cool it is to share your diving experiences with people online you also know how filming getting the way of simply enjoying the moments which is why we dive in the first place that's why a year ago we had the dream with imagine an autonomous underwater drone that's follows you during your dials lets you capture beautiful footage hands-free so you can focus on the diving now above always in pass of becoming a reality this camera is completely autonomous autonomous means that you don't have to do anything at all we've created and patented an underwater localization technology it enables ibubble to know where you are and to keep you or your surroundings in the frame now you can record your diving adventures with no camera handling whatsoever I bubble comes loaded with a built-in library of carefully designed camera movements all you have to do is choose your shot from the control bracelet and I bubble execute the results are incredible beautiful underwater footage from completely new perspectives you might wonder how I bubble performs when you have let's say a specific close-up to shoot good question you just call I bubble back with your bracelet grab it and film as you want when you're done let ibubble go and it goes right back to follow mode we've all dreamed of following a turtle or month away while it swim fast and far away so we've enabled eye beable to do just that all by itself press the target locking button for a few seconds and ibubble will recognize the shape it needs to follow release it and watch as it glides by turtles and sharks capturing what's out of your reach we've designed all the features in close collaboration with the diving community and professionals from the underwater world when application puja bubbles affected the vomit on Japanese GCE Dan Lee oh yeah liebherr Zuma a little redundant community he doesn't the same tone she a meanie huija in that competence the veggies at all smashed mine can we are able to no keep that ammonia will you this anymore you know everything it's just expands usually the type of things that I can create so how does a future prison one Porsche in the revolution policy on Russia Davina I can't wait to have my own eye today with the work we've done and the team we've built we know we can make above all a reality the last thing we need is your help if we reach our goal will access the whistles is needed to deliver a bubble next year with more fans will have even more features so by i beable today thank you from the entire eyeball team hey I'm David and I'm Eric and three years ago we came to you to Kickstarter and told you about our dream to make a low-cost underwater robot we wanted to make underwater exploration accessible to everybody a lot has happened in that past three years we've shipped thousands of these robots to 50 countries every continent and most importantly we've built this community of people who are obsessed with pushing the boundaries of what's possible so for the last three years we've been working on how to make underwater exploration tools the right way what we come up with is something that we're extremely excited to announce this is the Trident I'd open ROV we believe that exploration is not just about gathering data but also about experiencing new worlds in a new way we've designed Trident to be extremely fun to fly most ROV easing up and down slowly they go left and ride forward reverse Trident is nothing like that it flies like an airplane if it speeds along you can Bank you can dive it's fun to fly it goes fast when you want it to but it can slow down and be precise you have something you want to respect getting video from underwater has always been a challenge because radio waves don't travel through water so we've developed a very lightweight neutrally buoyant tether which communicates the video feed from the barovia up to the surface that catches to a wireless buoy which allows you to control the ROV from any Wi-Fi connected device like a tablet a laptop or even a VR device like an oculus rift or a Google cardboard we wanted an ROV that could go to places that no ROV had been before so we designed it to be ultra portable whether you're hiking to high alpine lakes or you're bringing this is carry-on luggage it goes wherever you go most are obese are designed to look in specific places where you already know where the target is but we've realized that a lot of people want to explore with an rfp we've designed Trident to be extremely hydrodynamic and excellent at going in long straight lines this allows you to do lawnmower patterns being able to broadly explore place that you've never seen before and find out what's there we've seen community members take this model and create 3d visualizations of the sea floor using technologies like photogrammetry and structure for motion we hope that we can help create maps of the underwater world that will allow us to see it in a completely new light I joined this project when it was the initial Kickstarter and I did it because it was going to be a chance to take this Hardware these robots and I asked me at Lee's my software skills actually programmed them and have them do step under water I've been using that to build a platform now that lets other software geeks like myself contribute and help programmers to find ways to control robots we've made a plug-in architecture that allows you to add your own components add new sensors new technology to an ROV after it's already been developing out in the field the opener of e software it's bigger than any single ROV its opening the door to services and technologies that were just not scratching the surface on from mapping to autonomous computer control to imaging reefs and an underwater shipwrecks in 3d we're going to be able to send this data and utilize cloud computing mesh networking and all kinds of future technologies to make it available to everybody so whether you're a fisherman a researcher a recreational boater or just someone who's curious about what's below the surface this is the tool for you so here we are you spent the last 4 years developing underwater robots and we've never been more excited about the project we have now to get to the next level to bring Trident to light we need your help so check out the Reward levels let us know what you think and together let's build the future of underwater exploration thank you we live on a planet that's 71% water yet we've only explored 10% of it we're about to change that the fathom one is an easy-to-use underwater drone that you control with your smartphone or tablet we designed it to be the most affordable most versatile underwater drone ever made and after two full years of prototyping and development were finally ready to bring underwater exploration and education to the masses I'm John I'm Matt and I'm Danny we're a team of outdoor enthusiasts scuba divers engineers and travelers they had an idea for an underwater drone that we could take anywhere and use in any environment I grew up spending summers on Lake Louise in northern Michigan where a lot of large logging operations took place in the 1800's jump forward two hundred years and now every cottage has artifacts and pieces of history on their walls that washed up on the beach but there are still legends of horse-drawn sleds that fell through the ice and got stuck at the bottom just waiting to be explored I thought if I could control an aerial drone from a mobile app to explore from above why couldn't I do the same thing from underwater that's when fathom was born underwater remotely operated vehicles or ROV s have been around for a while but they're mainly large expensive industrial devices tethered to big ships and early consumer RVs inspired by their big brothers cost well over $1,000 with no mobile app for piloting and you need to be a pretty good hacker to put them together we knew we wanted an underwater drone that anyone could drop into any body of water and pilot easily using an app on their smart device and it had to be small and light enough to carry around meaning a completely new compact design it had to come fully assembled out of the box including an onboard 1080p HD camera and built in high intensity LED headlights for clear viewing and it had to be as affordable as lower cost flying drones with comparable equipment so that every modern day Explorer could have one we built the fathom one with all of those features and thanks to custom components in a streamlined design now you can have it for under $600 that's less than half the price of the closest competition above all we made the fathom one super easy to use but that doesn't mean it's limited this thing is fully modular our patent-pending thruster attachment system allows you to easily remove all three thrusters for packing but it also enables customization and upgrades to specialized thrusters such as these ones with larger fins for stabilization and we're hoping our backer community will create and share their own ideas for customization fathom 1 also features an integrated rail system that makes adding accessories like action cameras and additional lights or other sensors a breeze just slide it on click it in and you're ready to go we put everything that we have into making underwater exploration and education more accessible to the masses we built the prototypes validated our designs and now ready to go on a full-scale manufacturing all that's left is for you the Kickstarter community to show us that you want an underwater drone that's affordable portable modular and completely easy to use right out of the box fathom is your chance to go deep and see the world in an entirely new way the possibilities are truly endless what can you fathom
