Advanced Navigation, a global leader in AI robotics and navigation technology, is bringing humans closer to the ocean like never before, starting with a drone named Hydrus.
Hydrus, a revolution in underwater robotic technology, was recently sent to the treacherous depths of the Rottnest ship graveyard located in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Western Australia.
Upon unloading its data, the team was ecstatic to discover Hydrus had spotted a 64-metre shipwreck scattered across the seafloor (more than twice the size of a blue whale, the largest marine animal).
Parting the Sea for Underwater Heritage
Unfathomably, only 5 percent of the ocean has been explored and charted by humans. Included in the mysterious 95 percent are 3 million undiscovered shipwrecks with 1,819 recorded wrecks currently lying off the shore of Western Australia.
