DESCRIPTION
HYCAT is a Research-Robots from SeaRobotics. It is built for Data Collection, Mapping, Surveying. Key figures: released 2018.
HYCAT is a man-portable autonomous surface vehicle that SeaRobotics launched in 2018, developed with Xylem brands YSI, SonTek and HYPACK as a complete water-studies package for site monitoring. It combines sensors from several brands with plug-and-play capability so it can be tailored to each site, and runs everything from one platform in HYPACK for intuitive mission planning, monitoring and real-time data acquisition. At under two metres long it is SUV-portable and quick to deploy, can launch in remote places without a dock and runs in water as shallow as one foot. Sensor options cover surface water-quality monitoring with a YSI EXO2 sonde, bathymetry, discharge and water-velocity mapping with a SonTek M9, side-scan imaging with an Imagenex 230/360/800 kHz sonar, an optional Impact Subsea single-beam sonar and a Hemisphere AtlasLink RTK-compatible GNSS receiver.
