F1 Fish Finder
The F1 Fish Finder is a surface-traveling drone manufactured by Chasing Innovation that lowers a camera and sensor payload underwater to depths of 20–30 meters for fishing applications. It is controlled via smartphone app or optional remote controller over Wi-Fi and features autonomous GPS-based return-to-home functionality.
Overview and Use Cases
The F1 Fish Finder is a surface drone designed for recreational and professional fishing applications. Unlike fully submersible remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the F1 operates on the water surface while deploying an underwater camera and sensor payload. The system allows users to scout fishing locations, observe underwater conditions, and identify fish activity without entering the water themselves.
Key Capabilities
- Remote Control: User-steered via smartphone application (iOS and Android) or optional joystick remote controller
- Wireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi communication with 30 meter operating range, extendable to 60 meters using the 3B remote variant
- Autonomous Features: GPS-based auto-return to home on signal loss
- Payload Deployment: Lowers integrated camera and sensor equipment to depths of 20–30 meters
- Camera Systems: Standard model includes underwater camera; F1 Pro variant adds infrared lighting and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
- Bait Drop: F1 Pro model includes bait release mechanism
Specifications
- Battery: 4,800 mAh replaceable lithium-ion battery
- Runtime: Up to 6 hours per charge
- Communication Standard: Wi-Fi
- Payload Depth Capability: 20–30 meters
- Control Interface: Smartphone application or optional remote joystick
Manufacturer
The F1 Fish Finder is manufactured by Chasing Innovation, a company headquartered in Shenzhen, China, founded in 2016.

RobotRelay Delivery Robot
The Relay Delivery Robot is an autonomous indoor delivery robot developed by Relay Robotics (formerly known as Savioke), designed primarily for hospitality and healthcare environments. It navigates hotel corridors and hospital hallways independently, rides elevators without human assistance, and delivers guest amenities, medications, linens, and other supplies directly to rooms or designated drop-off points. Relay is one of the most widely deployed service robots in its category, reportedly completing over one million lifetime deliveries with a publicly cited success rate of approximately 99.8%. With a cargo capacity of around 10 gallons, the robot is compact enough to operate in busy public spaces while carrying a meaningful payload of everyday supplies.

RobotSpot
Spot is a four-legged autonomous robot developed by Boston Dynamics, a robotics company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Designed for inspection, security, and data collection in complex or hazardous environments, Spot can navigate stairs, rough terrain, and confined spaces that are inaccessible to wheeled robots. It is commercially available and has been deployed across industries including utilities, oil and gas, construction, and public safety. Spot supports a modular payload system that accommodates thermal cameras, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, lidar units, methane sensors, and other mission-specific hardware. Boston Dynamics also offers the Orbit fleet-management software platform, enabling operators to schedule autonomous inspection routes, aggregate sensor data, and manage multiple Spot units from a central interface. The robot is widely regarded as one of the most capable and commercially mature legged robots on the market.

RobotRealSense Depth Camera D455
The RealSense Depth Camera D455 is a stereoscopic active-infrared depth camera belonging to Intel's D400 series, designed to capture high-fidelity depth data for robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), drones, and computer-vision applications. It features a 95 mm stereo baseline — the widest in the D400 lineup at the time of its introduction — which reportedly enables depth error of under 2% at ranges up to approximately 4 metres. Originally developed under the Intel RealSense brand, the D455 and related products were later spun off as part of an independent RealSense business unit following Intel's restructuring of the division around 2021–2022. The camera is widely adopted in research, industrial automation, and humanoid-robot development owing to its compact USB-powered form factor, open SDK support, and relatively accessible price point.
