SeaBee
// A conceptual deep sea drone designed to make sub-oceanic research more tangible, relatable and accessible to the general public.
Designed for Black Water Photography, these small drones work in a swarm and are capable of housing standard DLSR cameras, all for collecting high-quality imagery for scientific documentation. Crated with a modular system, they allow for personal customisation, easy repairs and reduced manufacturing costs. By utilising ROVs tethered connections, SeaBees create a swarm-like wirelesses net-topology network, allowing them to be untethered, even at great depths!
Aiming to engage with citizen scientists, individuals can participate remotely en masse and expand the reach of existing research expeditions. SeaBee as a project ultimately aims to increase public interest and awareness for the marine sector, whilst also collecting mass data and decreasing financial costs for equipment.
