Keeping a boat in tip-top shape below the water level can be difficult, so the 'Keelcrab' underwater drone is designed to aid boat owners with boat cleaning and maintenance. Currently funding on Kickstarter, the 'Keelcrab' is designed to be used on motor boats, sailing boats and yachts of virtually any size.
Available now for preorder on Kickstarter, the 'Keelcrab' underwater drone clings to the hull of a boat to scrub away debris and dirt. The 'Keelcrab' can perform boat cleaning thanks to the built-in video camera and LED lights that enable boat owners to control the robot from afar through remote control. The 'Keelcrab' helps to make boat ownership and maintenance easier without the need to dry dock the vessel every time it needs a cleaning.
