Syrenna’s WaterDrone has been called the “underwater weather station of the future" in a recent TechCrunch article.
🌊 Oceans are critical for our planet's health and for many global industries, but we lack specific, systematic knowledge of almost all of the oceans, except at their surface.
A 2023 XTC Global Finalist, this Norway-based #startup has developed a #robotics platform that provides real-time monitoring of the oceans. Its WaterDrones are semi-stationary weather stations that collect, process and visualize #data, like temperature, salinity, pollution and #microplastics. These marine metrics provide critical underwater intelligence.
“There is such a clear need for safe, reliable and continuously updated data about water quality,” said Ester Strømmen, CEO and co-founder of Syrenna in the TechCrunch article. “Widespread use of technology will drastically increase our knowledge of how our oceans are actually doing; we could detect harmful bacteria, runoff and pollution, track global warming, monitor species and conduct subsea surveillance.”
Syrenna's WaterDrone:
🤿 can control its own depth while maintaining geographic location,
🔋 has a battery that lasts for a full year of operation, and
🔗 has a proprietary tether keeps it anchored near its target location.
Applications are endless and could provide valuable information to energy companies, governments and military/law enforcement, while supplying data to environmental interest groups, research institutes and the public.
