A Splash Drone 3 that Can Fly in the Air, Float on Water, See Under Water and Carry a Payload Has Officially Launched a Crowdfunding Campaign on Kickstarter

25 May

Splash Drone 3 is the only waterproof drone equipped with a 4K camera and a Payload Release System designed to deliver a life vest to a swimmer overboard or fishing bait up to a kilometer away. It can land and float like a boat on water and see under water while transmitting the video signal for up to a kilometer away

Miami, Florida – The vast majority of drone owners fear flying over water for obvious reasons. Viral videos of drones crashing over lakes and beaches are far too common these days, but those days are now over. That’s because SwellPro is introducing the new Splash Drone 3 AUTO and Fisherman editions. The only drone that is waterproof, can float in the water, is equipped with a 4K stabilized camera and Payload Release System that can deliver a life vest or bait for up to a kilometer away.

Splash Drone 3 the Waterproof Drone that can Fly in the Air and See Under Water and Could One Day Save a Life is Crowdfunding on Kickstarter

Splash Drone 3, a waterproof drone that can fly in the air, float on water, see under water and carry a payload such as a life vest or a fishing bait up to 1,000 meters, is crowdfunding on Kickstarter

The Splash Drone 3’s new flight controller has redundant safety features that allow it to automatically return to its take-off position at the flip of a switch or auto-land in case of low battery voltage, much more effectively than its predecessor.

The Fisherman Edition comes with a Payload Release System that is geared towards fishermen, boaters and search and rescue personnel that want to deliver a life vest to a swimmer in distress or even bait to the desired location.

Both the Splash Drone 3 AUTO and Fisherman edition can fly in the rain, snow, land and float on water and see underwater while wirelessly transmitting the video signal back to the monitor on the newly designed remote control. The remote also vibrates to alert the drone pilot of any safety concerns like low battery levels or loss of navigation satellites.

The 4K video camera on the Splash Drone 3 AUTO is mechanically stabilized and can take 14 megapixel still photos with its distortion-free lens. While the Payload Release System of the Fisherman has a fixed camera that can carry up to 2.5 lbs pounds.

Both the 4K camera gimbal or the Payload Release System can be interchangeable between the AUTO and the Fisherman Edition of the Splash Drone 3, but unlike the Fisherman Edition, the AUTO can also be flown from a mobile app that allows it to fly smart missions like Tap-To-Fly to location on the map, Follow-me Mode and Automatic Mission Plans.

“We’re very excited to launch our most advanced drone yet. With the release of the Splash Drone 3, drone pilots will be able to do what was virtually impossible before, get a video shot from under water and from the air in one flight. I’m proud of SwellPro’s innovation and how much we’ve advanced in the last two years,” said Eric Hu, CEO of SwellPro, the company that manufactures the Splash Drone in Shenzhen China.

“Two years ago creating a waterproof drone was only a dream, today I’m delighted to announce that this dream has become a reality. We’re reimagining a new flight experience by getting rid of the fear of flying over water,” Said Alex Rodriguez, CEO and drone designer at Urban Drones, a drone technology company based in South Florida and the distributor of the Splash Drone in the Americas and Canada.

The Splash Drone 3 AUTO and Fisherman has launched on Kickstarter and can be found at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/splashdrone/splash-drone-3-a-fully-waterproof-drone-that-float

Delivery to early backers starts in early late July, 2017. Boaters, drone enthusiasts and water sports aficionados that take advantage of the Splash Drone’s Kickstarter campaign, will enjoy a much lower price and early delivery before it’s available for retail starting at $1399 for the Fisherman and $1699 for the AUTO.

ROBOSEA’s Bionic Unmanned Underwater Drone, BIKI, Zooms to More than 375% of Its Kickstarter Crowdfunding Goal

25 May

Full of tech features and operated through a controller or personal mobile device app, the unmanned underwater device with built-in GPS can maneuver nearly anywhere, at a depth of up to 196 feet, using advanced bionics technology

By Robert Hoskins

Los Angeles, California -Boya Gongdao (Beijing) Robot Technology Co., Ltd. (Robosea) launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to fund one of the world’s first bionic underwater drones, the BIKI, which is also the only underwater robot featuring automated balance, obstacle avoidance, and return to base. By supporting a 4K camera, BIKI presents you with the best view from underwater. BIKI is the smallest, but also the strongest. Through this intelligent robot fish, you can visualize the underwater world from a completely new perspective. BIKI is not only an almighty underwater drone but also a robot pet full of emotions. Now, just tell BIKI what you want to do!

Robosea has implemented an advanced bionics technology into BIKI that they previously invented and developed for the first underwater robot with dual reconfigurable tail fin. This was used to operate in Antarctic Regions, where the underwater robot played a significant role in the anthropic exploration into unknown territory. And the BIKI unmanned underwater drone can easily be controlled with a physical controller or app on your mobile device.

BIKI’s bionic design minimizes the volume and weight that’s 30 percent more efficient than other UUVs on the market today and includes an infrared positioning sensor, allowing the drone, which resembles a fish, to avoid obstacles automatically and adapt to different complex environments intelligently.

“BIKI can maneuver just about anywhere, and with the use of our trademarked exclusive Robosea Algorithm and set in IMU (inertial measurement unit), it can keep its balance in the water – allowing BIKI self-stabilization to provide smooth videos and sharp photos through its camera platform,” said Dr. Minglei Xiong, CEO of Robosea.

4k video and pictures captured can easily be shared via live transmission to personal mobile devices and social media. In the case of a lost connection, a built-in GPS module makes BIKI automatically return to base or send real-time locations to mobile devices.

“You can also design your own routes for BIKI and, if transmission is somehow lost, it will automatically return to base – all the while sending its real-time location to your mobile device,” added Xiong. “In addition to 4K UHD video, BIKI also supports 16-megapixel photography at 30 fps that offers the best view from underwater – even when operating at high-speed motion or in darkness.”

BIKI operates for up to 90-120 minutes on a single charge, and can operate at depths of nearly 200 feet.

BIKI features include:

  • Advanced Bionics Tech

With bionic design, BIKI UUV minimizes the volume and weight, and increases the efficiency by 30%.
Able to get into everywhere.

  • Automated Balance

Principle: IMU (inertial measurement unit) and exclusive algorithm ROBOSEA™.
Result: keep balance in the water.

  • Automated Obstacle Avoidance

Principle: infrared positioning sensor.

  • 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160 lines (8.3 megapixels, aspect ratio 16:9)
  • Compact size (weight of 2.4 pounds, 10.47-inch length, 4.17-inch Width and 5.83-inch height)
  • Durable open shell
  • IMU (inertial measurement unit)
  • ROBOSEA algorithm
  • Underwater suspension
  • 1.12 mph fishtail-driven design
  • 196-foot maximum depth
  • 55db ultra silent
  • 150° Wide-Angle Lens
  • 32 GB Internal Memory
  • 2*114 Lumen Lights
  • Wireless control and transmission
  • Route customization
  • 90-120 minutes of video shooting

BIKI also applies the technology of ABS crashworthiness and resistance-to-weathering, so no matter what difference in temperature from 32-158°F (0 to 70°C), corrosive offshore environments, or under long-term sunlight, BIKI will always remain in perfect condition.

Boya Gongdao (Beijing) Robot Technology Co., Ltd. (Robosea) is an entrepreneurial technology company focusing on highly-precise technology development, which mainly engages in R&D of underwater robot and automation equipment, as well as robotic technology training and service.

Robosea’s existing self-developed products include: underwater unmanned aerial vehicle, biomimetic robot fish, water quality monitoring and pollution regulating robots, etc. The founder of the company is Dr. Xiong Minglei from intelligent control room of engineering Institute of Peking University, who develop industry-university-research cooperation with a R&D team consisting of doctors and masters.
