| SeaBED,
developed by WHOI scientist Hanumant Singh and colleagues, is an AUV
that can fly slowly or hover over the seafloor to depths of 6,000 feet
(2,000 meters), making it particularly suited to collect highly
detailed sonar and optical images of the seafloor. SeaBED
flies about 8 feet (2.5 meters) above the seafloor, flashing its strobe
light and snapping a photo every three seconds. It maintains a constant
altitude and speed of a ½ knot.
