The conceptual 'SHARK' waterborne drone has been designed by the JK Design studio as an underwater vehicle that mimics the namesake creature to glide seamlessly through the water.
The underwater drone is equipped with six propellers with three on each side that are capable of moving independently to move the unit in any direction at a rapid rate. This is further enhanced with an aerodynamic body design to cut through the water with ease. The drone is accented by an array of cameras in the front, which include several small lenses along with sensors for scanning the surrounding environment for obstacles.
The conceptual 'SHARK' waterborne drone is designed to be remotely operated by divers to use it for exploring areas unsafe for humans to go.
