HELIX Neptune - Amphibious Robot for Water Monitoring
The HELIX Neptune is an advanced amphibious robot developed by Copperstone Technologies, designed for water characterization and environmental monitoring in hazardous environments. Weighing 400 kg, this robot is equipped to handle multi-beam bathymetric surveys and remote ice thickness evaluations with a retractable sonar head mounted for precise depth measurements up to 200 meters. Its unique screw-drive propulsion system consists of helical pontoon structures allowing it to traverse diverse terrains such as mud, ice, and water while providing high maneuverability and versatility. The robot achieves a top speed of 2 knots in water and 9 mph on land. Multiple payload configurations enable water sampling and environmental monitoring, including dual GPS RTK systems, sonar integration, and submersible ROV operations. The HELIX Neptune offers a sustainable, remote-controlled solution for industries like mining and municipal water management by reducing the need for human presence in dangerous conditions, saving both costs and time.
