Introducing the Jaiabot™

JaiaBots are low cost, micro-sized, high speed Aquatic Drones for data collection and payload delivery. The vehicles are ultraportable and can be launched from almost anywhere, including the surf zone, riverbank, dock, or watercraft. The JaiaBot System is modular enabling rapid integration of different sensors and payloads.

The ease of use minimizes operator training time and maintenance needs. This rugged and reliable aquatic drone can realistically and feasibly scale your data acquisition by using a pod of JaiaBots at an unprecedentedly low cost.

Jaiabot™ Product Portfolio

Modular Design Provides Multi-Mission Capability

Jaiabot™ hydro

Rapidly collect conductivity, temperature and depth throughout the water column. Able to cover large areas with full vertical profile dives. Collect currents, bottom type, and wave height data. Hydro model features are available in all JaiaBot models.

Jaiabot™ pam

Passive Acoustic Monitoring capability allows recording of offshore wind construction, marine mammals as well as surface and subsurface vessels. Applications in fisheries and offshore renewables. CTD sensing available on all models.

Jaiabot™ Bio

A water observing tool for customers collecting water quality and environmental data. The BIO provides a camera for bottom pictures, wet mate connector for multiple fluorometer types and sensing for dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, temperature, and depth.

Jaiabot™ prime

Prime is a Payload Delivery Vehicle. Vehicle length can be extended to increase endurance and add payloads.

Jaia as a service

Interested in collecting aquatic data without owning a fleet? Jaia as a Service (JaaS) provides the ability for customers to utilize Jaia’s in-house fleet to conduct data collection. The field team will work with customers to identify their needs, configure the system to collect the parameters of interest, plan the missions, and operate the vehicles. JaaS can be utilized as a one-time service or a subscription to routinely monitor parameters in an aquatic region.

Command and Control

Plan your missions from your tablet, laptop, or phone in minutes and change them on the fly with Jaia’s intuitive user interface, Jaia Command and Control. System status and user selectable data sets displayed in real time.
