UBERGaiter aquatic drone to launch

Starting on June 4, 2019, swimmers, boaters and residence owners living on the shores of Eastern Townships lakes may notice a new craft tirelessly cruising around the waters. The UBERGaiter is a battery-powered, algorithm-driven aquatic drone which will rely on student-developed software to chart its course to map the bottom of these lakes with an underwater camera trained to identify plant species.

UBERGaiter will launch on its maiden voyage on Tuesday June 4, 2019, on Brompton Lake. Media are invited to cover the event.
