Integration of USV by K2sea with High-Resolution Multibeam Echo-sounder for Complete Automation of Bathymetric Measurements

Imagine you are a surveyor, comfortably seated by a lake or a sunny beach, observing a small, autonomous boat performing a bathymetric survey. Your only responsibility is to monitor the screen where bathymetric data is covering more and more of your survey area and to signal other boats with a honk if they cross your path. Is it just a naive surveyor's dream? We may be closer to such a solution than you think.
