YUCO-eDNA, the most compact AUV to collect environmental DNA sample

YUCO-eDNA micro-AUV just make AUV technology accessible. Using YUCO-eDNA is certainly nowadays one of the most simple and cost-effective way to collect environmental DNA samples to identify the various living beings that live or have passed through this natural environmental, including rare species. This is a non-invasive biodiversity monitoring technique for natural environments and species. It comes with a DVL to compensate current drift, improve positioning and keep altitude from the sea floor. With an autonomy up to 8 hours, and speed up to 6knots, and depth rated at 300m.

Thanks to the INX navigation and DVL YUCO-eDNA is able to achieve navigation accuracy better than +/-2% without requiring any external elements sur as acoustic telemetry. This is one of the advantages that makes SEABER underwater vehicle so unique, accurate navigation, ease of use, great autonomy and a real single person deployment no external acoustic tool required. SEAPLAN software provides an ideal and versatile interface for the YUCO-eDNA micro-AUV and have pre-defined lawn-mover patterns to make a swift eDNA mission. Thanks to its mission programming savings and updates, SEAPLAN facilitates discovery of new area as well as repetitive mission in similar locations.
