IAA - Police Robot for Inspection and Mapping of Underwater Evidence (PRIME)

The core objective of the project was to demonstrate a proof-of-principle for an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) capable of searching inland waters (e.g., canals, lakes, etc.) for submerged bodies to aid and inform divers during underwater search operations. This system has been designed, built, and tested and will be improved upon over the coming months, leading to a final demonstration to representatives from the Metropolitan Police at the end of the year.
