We're making waves in data collection
Data Collection Buoy
The iSENSYS Data Collection Buoy is a cost-effective and reliable way to collect data in nearshore, estuarine, or intracoastal environments. It can be equipped with a variety of sensors to collect data on a wide range of parameters, including nutrients and fluorometry.
The buoy is designed to be highly efficient and uses minimal power, hibernating between sampling periods to conserve energy. It can also be updated and have its data broadcast via satellite, and it can detect impact or drift to alert operators. The iSENSYS Data Collection Buoy is currently deployed around the world in places like the British Virgin Islands, Florida, Hawaii, and Trinidad. It is an affordable, yet scalable tool for characterizing an environment.

Meet our Data Collection Robots
Our multi-domain fleet of unmanned vehicles covers every possible operating environment from high altitude atmospheric surveys to deep underwater inspections. They can conduct extensive surveys that require weeks of autonomous data collection effort. Or be the first to assess integrity of mine structures after an earthquake putting no human life at risk.

6D-ROV
Unveiling a new dimension in underwater robotics – 6DROV. Engineered for precision and agility, this advanced ROV redefines operational capabilities in marine environments. With the ability to maneuver in 6 degrees of freedom, it maintains a fixed orientation while navigating complex structures, enabling intricate and precise inspections.
When combined with optional navigational sensors, autonomous navigation and meticulous task execution is possible. The 6 DoF maneuverability allows precise placement of any sensor on to its target and stay in position for longer duration measurements. With the buoyancy neutralized in all three axis, power optimization is substantial when compared to traditional self-righting designs.

MAKO (ASV)
The Mako is a high-speed, waterjet vessel capable of covering huge areas in a single mission. Based off of a standard personal watercraft, the Mako is easily scalable for manufacturing, allowing rapid development and deployment of large fleets. Capable of carrying a wide variety of payloads and loitering for long durations, Mako is perfect for missions of any size and timescale. Predominant use cases are:
- Hydrographic, bathyometric, side scan sonar surveys
- Border, port, and marine protected area security
- Water quality surveys in rough or swift current waters
- Persistent security in 'drift' or position keeping mode.

MASCAT (ASV)
The Modular-Autonomous-Surface-Catamaran (MASCAT) is purpose-built and designed for long-range water surface and vertical profile sampling missions. MASCAT is capable of handling rough surf while maintaining straight tracking, perfect for missions requiring precise or highly-repeatable paths in windy near-shore or intracoastal areas. Its large platform makes MASCAT ideal for large or otherwise cumbersome payloads or sensor packages. Idea use cases are:
- Water quality sensing with high frequency and grid spacing.
- Bottom contour and side-scan mapping
- Buoy or sensor deployment

Wolverine (AGV)
The Wolverine is a 3-meter wheelbase off-road capable ground vehicle capable of autonomous or remotely operated data collection missions. With robust power and capable off-road chassis, as well as a large payload capacity, the Wolverine can carry a wide variety and quantity of scientific sensors or payloads into otherwise impassible environments.
- Agricultural applications for spray treatments or spreading
- HazMAT or CBRNE

BADGER (UGV)
The Badger is a smaller 1-meter wheelbase mini-ATV with fully autonomous pathing capabilities. Its cargo pods are relatively large for its size and its low stature is well suited for ground-based inspection and sampling of soil and fauna. Badger is the perfect tool for mine structural surveying and agricultural applications, as well as SnR missions where sending in human force can prove too risky.

MPR-17 (UAV)
Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle capable of not just surveying or LiDAR mapping, its payload capabilities allow it to be a universal sprayer/spreader for farming. The capacity to analyze the problem and dispense treatment with surgical precision makes it a versatile, cost-effective solution for various uses. Unlike quad or multi-rotor UAVs, MPR-17 has a single rotor/tail rotor design allowing for extended flight times and heavier payloads.
- Multi- and Hyperspectral Imaging
- LiDAR
- Photogrammetry
- Agricultural electrostatic spray and dosed spread treatments
- Intilligence, Surveillance, Reconissance

What communications solutions we use?
Depending on the application, iSENSYS integrates a variety of communication solutions and radios ranging from LoRa all the way to LTE, satellite or 8X8 mesh MIMO.
What data does the Buoy collect?
iSENSYS Data Collection Buoy is a versatile platform that can be equipped with a variety of sensor packs depending on the mission. Such sensor packs can include: current, waveheight, pH, turbidity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and more.
What does iSENSYS mean?
iSENSYS stands for Intelligent Sensing Systems. During search and recovery operations during hurricane Katrina our UAV piloting team was featured on TV. Reporter misheard the name and pronounced iSENSYS. This is how iSENSYS was born.
