The BX-USV is a compact and lightweight autonomous robotic platform designed to offer a low-cost and sustainable solution for applications where crewed vessels are unnecessary, unsafe or infeasible. With a payload capacity of 10 kg, it can be customized either by AGISTAR or the end-user for a wide variety of tasks.
The vessel can be powered by 12Ah lithium batteries for standard endurance, or 40Ah batteries for enhanced mission times of over 2 hours. Two external culvert thrusters are positioned flat with the underside of the hull to reduce collision and entanglement with weeds. The system utilizes a 2.4 GHz communications link for reliable long-range remote control and data transmission, and also supports Bluetooth and wired connections.
The BX-USV has been designed with spacious dry compartments for electronics and payload integration, with openings for connectors and cables. It can be equipped with a wide range of sensors and equipment, including automatic sampling apparatus, water quality monitoring instruments, ADCPs, side scan sonars and more.
The AGISTAR CLEANER is a highly efficient and portable solution for the collection of floating waste and debris. With a compact footprint, it is ideal for navigating and cleaning narrow and awkward waterways that other vessels cannot reach, enhancing water quality and protecting and restoring aquatic habitats.
The vessel can be equipped with nets with three different mesh sizes, and can hold up to 10 kg of waste. Powered by lithium batteries, it provides a mission endurance of up to 4 hours, and is equipped with an onboard 1080p camera for high-quality video recording.
The AGISTAR CLEANER is available in a standard variant, as well as a Pro version that offers an AI-powered automatic waste detection and collection mode.
