Overview

An SUV-portable autonomous survey boat that SeaRobotics developed with Xylem brands in 2018. It combines SonTek ADCP bathymetry, side-scan sonar and a YSI water-quality sonde on one hull, with all of it run from HYPACK. SeaRobotics, a Florida ASV builder, also sells the larger SR-Surveyor M1.8 multibeam boat; MIT's Marine Robotics Group has demonstrated the M1.8 with MOOS-IvP autonomy.
