EvoLogics BOSS Manta Ray - the stunningly lifelike subsea robot for automated monitoring

EvoLogics GmbH (Berlin, Germany) is proud to present the BOSS Manta Ray, a novel bionic vehicle the company has been developing since 2013 as part of the Bionic Observation and Survey System (BOSS) project.
BOSS is a joint research effort, supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). Coordinated by EvoLogics, project partners are the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule Lübeck) and Sea & Sun Technology GmbH.
By combining innovative bionic concepts with modern marine technologies, BOSS collaborators aim to create a powerful and flexible underwater exploration and monitoring system, particularly suitable to access hard-to-reach or yet unexplored areas with its unique functional properties.
Deployed in the target area for observation and survey, the BOSS system is a self-coordinating swarm of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), all linked into a multimedia sensor network with latest communication and navigation technologies. Carrying a payload of instruments, the AUV swarm would sweep the target area, collect various data about the subsea environment and provide a wireless link to the base station for real-time monitoring.

When you think you thought of unique and original idea and googled it to make sure it's original only to realize someone with far more resources has already done it. At least the video isn't 10 years old

[@digitalghosts4599]

Oh man, I know the feeling so well! But at the same time I'm very happy they made it. It's my childhood dream come true. I'm now building bio-inspired robots as a hobby and I sometimes regret it didn't become my profession.

@@digitalghosts4599 can i get some tips and tricks on where to begin I wanna learn about this

[@digitalghosts4599]

@@thatkidbrennen4559 it's a pretty complex and interdisciplinary subject so without some very specific question I can't point to a single book or learning resource. I studied computer science, electronics and robotics and the most of what I come up with is the result of the education and what I'm able to read and learn myself thanks to the theoretical background I learned back in the uni

That Looks AWESOME

[@johnryan2193]

Great engineering! top class .

[@TomTechVideos]

Wow! Its almost like the real thing - amazing!

[@Anarchy_420]

Can't believe I haven't seen this vid yet! Lol well I've seen this drone in a diff vid it was talking about DARPA and endless energy!?

[@saganandroid4175]

I hope NATO member nations are reaching out to EvoLogics. The applications are significant.

[@denisebrown3830]

Fascinating can it be used as a vehicle to help propel divers in the ocean by maybe attaching a handle system.

[@cwschmidt]

Fantastic !!!!!

[@ronniebritton6535]

Ronnie Dobbs Britton what if you can make one that people can ride in, The in side a man size submarine that could move like that through the water with ease why not let me know what you think I look forward to hearing from you good work by the way

[@ViolentKisses87]

Pretty cool

[@TriPham-xd9wk]

Why is the orange light overall it is 👍? But

[@nicolasajjh3690]

Imagine some fish rip the waterproof suit and water starts leaking into it

[@noeurizar5582]

y si quiero una para un centro comercial?

Same as Philosophy. You must first be aware of other Philosophers' work before you become a Philosopher!
