Using underwater robots, Teleportal lets anyone swim through Australia’s natural wonder – the Great Barrier Reef – from the comfort of their homes. Teleportal operates a fleet of underwater robots on the Reef, which can be controlled day or night using a web browser. Users can log into the online portal, buy credits to pay for a dive, and use their keyboards to take one of the remote-controlled bots around the reef (upto 328 feet in any direction). The bot captures live video with its wide-angle 1080p camera and streams it to the user’s computer screen. The robots are solar-powered and have sonar obstacle avoidance, ensuring this fragile ecosystem’s protection while users enjoy an eco-friendly experience. Multiple robots and dive sites are available on Teleportal so that users will always have a new coral reef to discover and plenty of passing fauna to make each dive unique.
