Name: BlueBoat Uncrewed Surface Vessel
Brand: Blue Robotics

Model BR-101447

Open-source robotic catamaran USV with weedless hull and propellers, built for hydrographic surveys and robotics development.

Description

The BlueBoat is a robotic catamaran surface vessel for hydrographic surveys, robotic systems development and scientific missions. All control electronics, batteries and wiring sit in the hulls, leaving the space between the hulls free for payloads, and the flat inner hull walls create a low-wake area for survey sonars.
