Waveglider

SV2 Waveglider launched

The video shows the launch of the SV2 Waveglider. The Wavegliders, being deployed as part of the project, are autonomous, environmentally-powered ocean-going vehicles, developed by Liquid Robotics. They are fitted with surface and sub-surface sensors to gather information such as water temperature and the atmospheric conditions above, such as wind speed. Each is roughly the size of a surf board and is equipped with computers for navigation and a satellite communication system.
