Syrenna’s WaterDrone is the ocean-monitoring ‘underwater weather station’ of the future
As crucial as the ocean is to countless industries, we lack the kind of systematic knowledge of it that we have of the surface. Syrenna has built a
Syrenna has built a versatile robotic platform that you might think of as a mobile weather station for the sea, and is ready to emerge from stealth to enable precise, real-time monitoring of Earth’s largest liquid asset. Syrenna’s solution distills several methods into one: a robot that can control its own depth while maintaining geographic location, allowing for persistent, near-real time sensing and tracking of any number of important marine metrics. Companies like Bedrock aim to map the ocean floor, while Saildrone is improving its autonomous surface vehicles, and the aforementioned satellite-based monitors are also picking up — but Syrenna is unique in its ambition to provide this kind of semi-stationary weather station.
