UUR for Academia and Industry
Two Custom Versions

To serve the distinct needs of our users, Andromeida offers UUR in two versions: an Academic-Grade
UUR and the UUR-Quest edition. Both share the same core technology but are tailored to different operating environments and objectives.

UUR – Academic Edition

This version is optimized for universities, labs, and training purposes. It is cost-effective and highly modular, making advanced underwater robotics accessible to educational institutes and research groups on a budget. Key benefits of the Academic UUR include.

Hands-on Learning

A perfect platform for students and researchers to gain practical experience in marine robotics. The Academic UUR comes with an open architecture – both hardware and software – so users can tinker, modify, and learn by doing. It supports a variety of sensors and simple payload integration, encouraging experimentation and innovation in-house.

Lab-Friendly Design

The Academic UUR is slightly smaller and lighter, suitable for test tanks, pools, and coastal waters. Its depth rating and power are tuned for moderate environments (e.g., coastal research up to a certain depth), prioritizing ease of deployment and safety. Quick setup and intuitive controls mean researchers can focus on their experiments, not on operating the robot.

Plug-and-Play Customization

Comes with a rich library of sample payload interfaces and template code. Whether you want to attach a water quality sensor for a class project or a prototype sonar for a thesis, the Academic UUR provides plug-and-play support. Our documentation and support community further help academic users customize the robot to their research needs.

Robot-as-a-Service Option

For educational institutions, we also offer flexible leasing or Robot as-a-Service models (building on our experience with Pool Buddy’s service model ) so that even smaller colleges can time-share the robot for specific projects without a large upfront purchase.

UUR – Quest Edition

UUR-Quest is our premium, expedition-grade model, built for marine industry professionals, serious explorers, and advanced research missions. It retains UUR’s modularity and precision, but augments it for tougher challenges.

Enhanced Performance

UUR-Quest is equipped with more powerful thrusters and advanced navigation systems, allowing it to operate in harsher open-water conditions and stronger currents. It has a higher depth rating, making it suitable for deep-sea exploration and offshore industry use.

Heavy Payload Capacity

With a reinforced frame and upgraded buoyancy control, the Quest edition can carry heavier and more complex payloads. This means it can support sophisticated tools – multi-beam sonars, robotic arms for sample collection, high-end cameras, or even multiple sensors at once – catering to professional survey and inspection tasks.

Rugged & Reliable

Each UUR-Quest undergoes rigorous testing in our pressure chamber well beyond standard operating depths to ensure a high safety margin. Its electronics are hardened for long-duration missions. The Quest is also built with redundancy in critical systems (power, communications) to meet the reliability demands of commercial operations like aquaculture inspection, underwater construction, or environmental monitoring.

Real-Time Data & Control

Designed with industry in mind, UUR-Quest integrates seamlessly with vessel systems and on-shore control centers. Over its tether (or optional fiber-optic link), it streams HD video and sensor data in real time to operators. This live feed capability, combined with precision control, makes UUR-Quest ideal for situations where decisions must be made on the spot – for example, inspecting an underwater pipeline and immediately responding to what’s found.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? Here are our most frequently asked questions

For a first-time user with a technical background like yours, operating UUR™ would be straightforward. The interface is designed to be user-friendly, with guided workflows and setup wizards that simplify installation and calibration. However, some familiarity with sensors, hardware connections, or data interfaces will definitely help speed up the learning process. First-time users without a technical background may require more initial training but can still operate it after going through tutorials.

The Academic Edition is optimized for educational purposes. It includes simulation tools, learning modules, and limited hardware interfacing options to help students and researchers experiment without requiring full-scale deployment.
The Quest Edition, on the other hand, is intended for field operations, real-time data acquisition, and industrial use cases. It supports a wider range of sensors, higher data throughput, and customization options. Based on your work in projects like vehicle tuning and diagnostics, the Quest Edition would likely suit hands-on applications where hardware integration and precise measurements are critical.

Yes, customization is one of UUR™’s key strengths. It supports integration with external sensors, diagnostic tools, and interfaces, much like how you are preparing to work with the Vgate vLinker MC+ for your Street Triple 675. Custom configurations require proper communication protocols (e.g., CAN, UART, or Bluetooth) and calibration parameters. Users with engineering experience can extend its capabilities or adapt it for specialized use cases like automotive tuning or environmental monitoring.

The operational limits depend on the specific configuration. Typically, the Quest Edition is built for industrial environments with protection against dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. If it’s used in automotive or outdoor applications, it can withstand depths up to a few meters underwater and temperature ranges from –20°C to +60°C, similar to rugged sensors in vehicle diagnostics. You would need to follow safety guidelines to ensure sensor waterproofing and proper enclosure.

A basic technical orientation covering system setup, sensor calibration, and data interpretation is required. For someone like you—familiar with vehicle systems, diagnostic tools, and hardware—training would mostly focus on interface workflows and safety protocols. For other users, the platform offers structured tutorials, troubleshooting guides, and hands-on workshops to build confidence before full deployment.

UUR™ is designed with ruggedized components to operate in challenging underwater environments. Its housing is typically rated IP68 or higher, ensuring protection against prolonged submersion, corrosion, and pressure. It can handle saltwater exposure, shock, and vibration—conditions similar to those encountered in offshore or automotive testing setups. However, proper sealing and periodic maintenance are necessary to ensure continued performance in highly abrasive or chemically reactive environments.

The battery life depends on the sensor load and operational mode. Under standard conditions, UUR™ can operate continuously for 8–12 hours, with power-saving modes extending this to 18–20 hours in low-activity scenarios. For longer missions, external power sources or hot-swappable battery packs are supported. This flexibility allows users like you, who are used to extended testing scenarios (for example, long diagnostic runs), to adapt the system to mission requirements without compromising reliability.

Deployment is designed to be efficient, especially for field engineers. With pre-configured mission profiles and automated calibration routines, a trained user can deploy UUR™ within 10–20 minutes. This includes powering up, sensor alignment, and system checks. For rapid response scenarios, Andromeida also offers quick-start guides and remote support tools that further reduce setup time.

Andromeida offers comprehensive support tailored to technical users like you:

  • Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting assistance
  • Firmware updates for performance optimization
  • Hardware maintenance kits and spares for field repairs
  • Training modules and user manuals to ensure correct operation
  • On-demand support for mission-critical applications, including advice on sensor integration and calibration Warranty and extended service plans are also available to ensure uninterrupted usage in demanding conditions.

Yes, UUR™ supports synchronized operation across multiple units. Through wireless or wired networks, data can be aggregated in real time, enabling coordinated mapping, sensor fusion, and redundancy. This makes it ideal for larger operations such as environmental monitoring, fleet diagnostics, or complex testing setups. Users with experience in multi-sensor systems—like yourself working on advanced vehicle tuning or diagnostics—can configure and control these units to scale operations efficiently.
