(2021) USGS Diver Survey Scooter
Contracted by the USGS, the personal diving survey tool incorporates many technologies into one battery powered unit. Integrated into the design is a stereo camera system for creating real-time depth maps, a high-resolution color camera for color overlay over depth maps, standalone sensing, computing, and onboard power. A mounted diving scooter at the rear, combined with carefully balanced buoyancy, allows divers to maneuver the mobile survey lab in small bodies of water.
