New generation robot dog can swim under water

Vision 60s robot dog with excellent swimming ability

According to Ghost Roboticss, over the years, Vision 60s robots have helped military, law enforcement and corporate customers on land. Now, with the addition of a water-jet propulsion unit (NAUT) in the tail, it can also take on dangerous activities underwater.

It is worth noting that the Vision 60s is equipped with the NAUT system, which does not seem to use four legs when underwater, but completely relies on the rear articulated water jet for propulsion and steering.

According to industrial equipment supplier Onyx Industries, responsible for the "tail" of the Vision 60s, the NAUT jet propulsion unit turns any platform rated IP67 or higher - from robots to small watercraft - into a The system is remotely controlled or automatically activated in the country.

IP67 is a specific rating in the internationally accepted ingress protection (IP) code, which covers how protected electronic devices can resist water and other things getting inside. The device is dustproof and can be submerged in water to a depth of more than 1m.

Ghost Robotics' robot dog can now swim very well

With the NAUT jet propulsion unit, the Vision 60s can scout the situation on the opposite river/lake; determine a safe path through obstacles such as mines or other hazards. It can thus be used in support of military operations, law enforcement or in other roles in the area river area.
