Introducing the Jaiabot™

JaiaBots are low cost, micro-sized, high speed hybrid Autonomous Underwater Vehicles 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.

Software

The JaiaBot Software is built on top of two open source robotic middlewares: Goby3 and MOOS-IvP, both developed at MIT and deployed on robotic systems worldwide.
Goby3 software provides the communications, logging, and application architecture and is maintained by GobySoft, LLC
MOOS-IvP provides core autonomy of the system, and is maintained by the Laboratory for Autonomous Marine Sensing Systems at MIT

Jaiabot™ prime

Prime is a Payload Delivery Vehicle. Vehicle length can be extended to provide longer battery life and additional sensors.

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.

Mission Planner

Plan your missions in a few minutes and change them on the fly with Jaia’s intuitive user interface, Jaia Command and Control. Initiate and modify missions from tablet or laptop.
