Developers of the St. Petersburg Federal Research Center of RAS (SPC RAS) have created an intelligent system for the DAK-250 dredger control, able to automatically recognize the type of soil, to work at significant waves in the water area, and guarantee the correctness of the dredger position during sampling. In addition, due to a number of sensors, the device is able to record the temperature at various depths and the submersion depth with an accuracy of 1 cm. The data are recorded in the device's memory and can be easily transmitted wirelessly. The device functionality will significantly increase the correctness and speed of sampling, as well as provide for additional data extremely useful for the subsequent processing.
