EvoLogics, a Berlin-based provider of high-tech underwater robotics, data networks, positioning, and sensor technologies, proudly announces the launch of the next iteration of the Quadroin AUV.



Originally introduced in May 2021, the Quadroin vehicle garnered attention for its distinctive, penguin-like design. Engineered for monitoring and surveying, the fast and maneuverable Quadroin leverages EvoLogics' expertise in low-drag bionic design. Dr. Rudolf Bannasch, EvoLogics founder, delved into years of research on penguin locomotion, resulting in the AUV's remarkable hydrodynamic properties. With its low-drag shape, the Quadroin achieves speeds of up to 10 knots, minimizing energy consumption and enabling versatile deployments.


The newly integrated EvoLogics AI-powered object recognition module allows detecting objects in the side-scan sonar and video feeds live during the mission with processing carried out onboard the vehicle. It also enables automatic collision avoidance through a front-looking sonar system. 

The hardware and propulsion systems were redesigned with next-generation components for optimal performance. The Quadroin now features a Nortek Nucleus1000 integrated subsea navigation package that couples Nortek’s DVL technology with additional position-aiding sensors for reliable vehicle control.

Today, team EvoLogics is happy to reveal a new video of the Quadroin vehicles in action, shot in late 2023 at the Kreidesee Lake in Hemmoor, DE.

EvoLogics will be presenting the upgraded Quadroin at Oceanology International 2024 through live on-site demonstrations.
