iRobot ® Seaglider TM<br />
Robots, accessories, upgrades and training courses
The iRobot ® Seaglider TM unmanned underwater<br />
vehicle (UUV) is revolutionizing ocean data<br />
collection. An autonomous UUV, Seaglider<br />
performs physical, chemical and biological<br />
oceanography, persistent surveillance, marine<br />
environmental monitoring and a variety of<br />
other subsurface missions.<br />
In a range of ocean environments around<br />
the world, Seaglider has proven its worth as a<br />
cost-effective tool for long-term data collection<br />
in hard-to-access locations. Seaglider performs<br />
extended data-gathering missions that last many<br />
months and cover thousands of miles. Seaglider<br />
performs data-gathering missions in all sea<br />
states, regardless of surface conditions. Seaglider<br />
performs continuous data-gathering missions<br />
in both the littoral zone and open ocean without<br />
the need for reconfiguration.<br />
Seaglider UUVs have been delivered to<br />
oceanographers, maritime researchers and<br />
military planners at government and research<br />
institutions worldwide.<br />

Testimonial<br />
The benefits of using Seaglider under the polar ice caps<br />
“While ships are great to work on, they’re incredibly expensive. For example, the ice-breakers that we<br />
would need to get this kind of data cost well over $50,000 each day. The next level of science will be<br />
done using autonomous vehicles. Quite simply, they can work in conditions ships cannot. They don’t<br />
care about rough waves, they don’t get seasick, they don’t care about hurricanes. Oil spill Put it in.<br />
Hurricane Put it in. Seagliders will work for you tirelessly for a very long time. Having these tools<br />
is helping lead oceanographic research.”<br />

Sensors<br />
Sea-Bird Glider Payload Conductivity,<br />
Temperature and Depth (GPCTD)<br />
The Glider Payload CTD (GPCTD) is derived from<br />
the measurement circuits and sensors used on a<br />
Sea-Bird Argo float CTD. Designed specifically for<br />
use on gliders, the GPCTD measures conductivity,<br />
temperature and pressure, providing higher data<br />
collection rates at greater accuracy than the<br />
free-flow CTD.<br />
Part # 4292639<br />
Sea-Bird CT Sail<br />
The CT Sail is a free-flow conductivity and<br />
temperature sensor designed for use on<br />
Seaglider. When combined with the data from<br />
Seaglider’s on-board pressure sensor, it provides<br />
a low power way to obtain accurate and reliable<br />
salinity and density measurements.

Seaglider Development
Making a difference with ongoing development<br />
The iRobot 1KA Seaglider is expanding Monitoring during oil spills<br />
state-of-the art UUV technology and Seaglider was deployed to collect data in<br />
the Gulf of Mexico for five months in 2010, after<br />
performing critical environmental missions.<br />
the Deep Water Horizon oil spill.<br />
Equipped with CTD, DO, and CDOM sensors,<br />
the Seaglider monitored the temperature,<br />

accommodates a wide variety of sensors oil clouds in the vicinity of the Macondo Well<br />
Seaglider Development<br />
and payloads, enabling a broad range of<br />
missions. To meet the ever-evolving needs<br />
of ocean monitoring, Seaglider is continually<br />
integrated with proprietary and third-party<br />
innovative technology solutions, including<br />
the recent addition of capabilities to monitor<br />
sub-surface oil and detect<br />
waterborne radiation.<br />
site. Seaglider was used to locate and monitor<br />
large clouds of dispersed oil droplets more than<br />
2,000 feet below the surface of the water.<br />
With Seaglider, researchers were able to<br />
collect data at depths not easily achieved using<br />
traditional surface platforms and other UUVs.<br />
Detecting waterborne radiation<br />
Seaglider performs advanced waterborne<br />
radiological isotope identification. As part of<br />
a pilot program, Seaglider has been equipped<br />
with an integrated scintillation detector that<br />
identifies, measures and reports a range of<br />
