[ platforms ]

two platforms, both unfinished.

We're publishing the spec sheet before either is field-ready so that the design choices are arguable. Specs will move as the platforms move.

tideline 01in design

tideline 01

quadruped · intertidal

A quadruped sized for intertidal work. Sealed joints, replaceable foot pads, ankle-deep wading.

mass target~22 kg
wading depth≤ 35 cm
ip targetip67 (transient submersion)
foot systemmodular pad · field-swappable
payload bay2 kg · top-mount

Designed around the intertidal duty cycle: a few hours of wet operation, a few hours of drying, repeat. Not a marine platform; not a dry-ground quadruped. Built for the seam.

estuary 01in design

estuary 01

tethered · surface + shallow

A tethered surface-and-shallow-water platform for river mouth survey. Carries a small payload bay for third-party sensors.

draft≤ 15 cm
tether150 m · power + fiber
payload bay5 kg · sensor agnostic
station-keepingcurrent up to 1.5 m/s
recoverysingle operator from shore

For the people who need ground-truth in the brackish zone — researchers, hydrology teams, environmental monitoring. Tether is on purpose: simpler, cheaper, easier to recover. Autonomy is in the sensor pipeline, not the propulsion.

More platforms will be listed here as they reach field testing.
