01
Energy & endurance
Research concept: solar power with possible wave-assisted operation. Endurance, payload and seaworthiness have not been demonstrated.
ORBIS RAY / CONCEPT
A new way to listen to the ocean.
A future autonomous observation platform. Designed around a simple ambition: stay at sea longer, collect useful evidence and make it accessible.
02
A modular science payload
Candidate sensors: temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorophyll, turbidity, acoustic sensing and imaging. Selection requires calibration and power-budget work.
03
Observe → analyse → explore
Collect data, evaluate quality, identify gaps and propose the next observation. Mission execution must respect navigation and environmental constraints.
04
Development status
Concept only. No physical prototype, operational robot fleet or verified deployments are claimed. Hardware partners and scientific collaborators are invited.
