Blue Robotics BlueBoat
The Blue Robotics BlueBoat is an uncrewed surface vessel for hydrographic surveys and sensor integration.
The BlueBoat is an uncrewed surface vessel with two thrusters, controlled by ArduRover and the BlueOS operating system. Blue Robotics states a weight of 14.5 kg (without batteries and payload), dimensions of 120 x 93 x 46 cm (deployed) and a maximum speed of 3 m/s (6 kts) with two batteries and no payload. With two batteries (532 Wh) the range is 65 km at 1 m/s; with eight batteries 220 km. The maximum payload (batteries plus cargo) is 15 kg and the wireless control range with the included antennas is up to 250 m. Named applications: hydrographic surveys with echosounders, robotic systems development and sensor integration, scientific missions and operation in weedy or debris-filled waters. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
