KYUBICは2020年の教育プラットフォームとして開発されたホバリング型AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle)です。各機能のモジュール化により高い拡張性を持っています。また、箱型構造のフレームが持ち手となり、高い可搬性を実現しています。

KYUBICは高精度のIMUとDVLを搭載し、正確な自己位置推定が可能です。2台のカメラと独自の音響測位モジュールにより、KYUBICはより高度なミッションにも対応できます。搭載された大容量バッテリーにより、約3時間の連続運用が可能です。

KYUBICの各ノード間の通信にはROSが使用され、あらゆるプログラミング言語で開発することができます。

KYUBIC is a hovering AUV developed as an educational platform in 2020. It has high expandability by modularizing each function and connectorization. The protective box frame also serves as a handle that provides high portability for the equipment.


KYUBIC has a high precision IMU and DVL for accurate self-position estimation. With two cameras and a proprietary acoustic positioning module, KYUBIC can conquer more advanced missions. The installed high-capacity battery provides approximately 3 hours of continuous operation.


ROS is used for communication between each node of KYUBIC and can be developed in any programming language.
