Anyone who has dived or snorkelled before knows how gorgeous the sea can be. Thing is, it’s not always easy to capture its beauty. Well, from below the surface at least. Not to worry though, because Chinese company ROBOSEA has the perfect solution in mind for you.
Enter BIKI – a bionic fish drone that specializes in snapping underwater photos (yep, drones aren’t only for flying in the sky you know).
This cute little gadget is not just the world’s first underwater robot; it’s also the world’s first underwater robot with features like automated balance, obstacle avoidance, and a base returning system. All this excludes its super-sharp camera that records in crisp, 4K Ultra HD video.
Of course, that’s not all to look forward to over here. You’ll also be able to achieve smooth videos and sharp photos thanks to the BIKI’s anti-shake camera stabiliser, while its internal memory storage of 32GB is more than sufficient for a few rounds worth of shooting.
In other words, BIKI is THE ultimate tool for achieving those gorgeous, ocean shots you always see on Instagram. Its camera is certainly good enough, but more importantly, it’s easy to use as well. You can plan BIKI’s route; connect to it via Wi-Fi, while you can even track it with a built-in GPS system.
You’ve got to be a little more patient to land your hands on one of these robo-fishes though. It’s still a Kickstarter project, but ROBOSEA has way surpassed its goal of $20,000 and early bird orders should be delivered by September later this year.
Like all Kickstarter projects, it’s important to check out potential “risks and challenges” at the bottom of the Kickstarter page. However, with more than 30 prototypes tested from more than 100 volunteers, it seems as if BIKI will make a splash in the market sooner rather than later.
