Prototype in 3D Print
As usually we use 3D printed prototypes A LOT when working on a new robot. Here a picture of our new robot, Allec Pro. The black “thing” on top is a detachable tether wire cap.
Working in packs
The underwater world is a big place and sometimes it is more fun or efficient to bring friends. Allec can work together with other Allecs to solve missions. Say you want to quickly find places with wrecks or every fish you can possibly spot. Simply put several Allecs on the task. The… Læs mere Working in packs
AI programming in depth – Part 1
So you are technically inclined and want to know how to really control Allec? The AI programming language is the answer. For those with programming experience a very breif description is that the AI programming language is much inspired by common C, with some robot relavant functions added. The language is really very… Læs mere AI programming in depth – Part 1
Object avoidance
A requirement for a robot sailing on his own is to be able to spot objects in his way and react on them. In a earlier post we talked about Allec’s computer vision. It allows Allec to not just detect objects, but also understand what kind of object he is looking at. So… Læs mere Object avoidance
Discovery Chart
A brilliant feature of Allec is his Discovery chart. It’s a graphical overview of what Allec experienced during his trip under water and will display the route sailed and the objects Allec recognized during the dive on an area map. If you bring Allec along on your underwater diving or snorkeling trip, he will… Læs mere Discovery Chart

Allec vision
Allec does not just record the world around him, he actually sees it. To be able to do this, Allec’s brain contain his own version of computer vision. Allec is able to categorize what he sees into 10 categories, rating the likeliness of what he saw with at 0 to 100 % likeliness,… Læs mere Allec vision
Electronic Expansion Slot
Want Allec to control a robotic arm, extra external lights, Reverse mounted camera, measure temperature, get GPS coordinates (when above water), release depth charges…? What you want is the Electronic Expansion Slot. The Electronic Expansion Slot is Allec’s way of being able to adapt to your needs. It’s basically an adapter that… Læs mere Electronic Expansion Slot
Dead reckoning navigation
Wonder how Allec navigate below the waves? The first thing you need to know when considering submarine navigation is that radio waves really don’t like to travel below water. The means that when sailing below using GPS for navigation is not possible. We have to fall back to the good old days, where… Læs mere Dead reckoning navigation
