According to the company, the iRobot Seaglider is a deep-diving UUV that is suitable for missions lasting many months and covering thousands of miles. The UUVs can be piloted from anywhere in the world.
 
The iRobot UUV was recently in the news for its role in data collection during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The company says over 135 Seaglider UUVs have been delivered to customers worldwide, including the U.S. Navy, government agencies and research organizations.
