ETH Zurich: „Diving robot for dangerous operations“

Divers are often put at considerable risk when searching for people or objects underwater. The ETH spin-​off Tethys has developed an underwater robot that can be used in situations that are too dangerous for human divers.

The Tethys robot is an autonomous underwater vehicle that has been specially developed for use in challenging and dangerous environments like turbid channels and rivers. It is primarily used in situations when it is too difficult or risky to use conventional search and rescue techniques. Equipped with acoustic sensors and cameras, the robot can search large areas underwater completely autonomously and quickly localise objects or people. This means that divers and rescue teams no longer have to risk working in dangerous situations.

Goodbye Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich

We are very grateful that we were allowed to be here in this great modern office of Buero Zueri in the Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich. For a whole year we had the opportunity to grow in this fantastic space with further education and many helpful discussions within the local startup community. Now, we have given the spirit of the office to the new start ups which will move in for this year.

Thank you all!

Introduction of Proteus

Happily presenting our newest diving robot: Proteus. Named after a greek sea god.

Proteus is a totally redesigned underwater drone and allows us to reach new depths, see the underwater world in great detail even if it is dark and turbid. It is developed to easily mount sensor suites, transmit data at high speeds, and a lot more.

Maiden Run

Last weekend, our newest robot Proteus from Tethys Robotics was allowed to dive into the Lake of Zurich for the very first time and obviously felt the freedom.

It is a big step for us! Because this robot is the first completely self-developed robotics system of Tethys Robotics and everything works perfectly. We are very proud.

Science City

Last Sunday, we had the opportunity to show again our ROV SUBO 2.0 at the event of Science City in the main building of the ETH Zurich. The theme of the event was „The Ocean“. It was a very interesting day and we could inspire young and old.

First Swim In The Lake Of Zurich

SCUBO 2.0 has been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. Swimming in the nearby Lake Zurich in bright sunshine and late summer temperatures. Also the divers were enthusiastic to accompany a diving robot underwater and were amazed how much power the robot had. Click on the picture and enjoy the video.

Success in the USA!

We are very happy to announce, that Tethys Robotics has reached 9th place at the 2019 MATE international ROV championship. After months of hard work and ups and downs we were able to reach the top ten in a field of 60 international teams! We would like to especially thank our supporters, partners and fans for the ongoing support and trust. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

Competition Day

Today we had our two pool runs. After some troubles with the first run in the morning, we got everything dialed in and had a very successful pool run in the afternoon. SCUBO performed great and the omidirectional steering once more turned out to be extremely helpful for all different tasks and an eye catcher for the spectators.
