Executive Summary
The Apex-X1 is a fully autonomous, biomimetic underwater vehicle (AUV) designed to mimic the hydrodynamics of a shark for stealthy approach and capture of invasive fish species (e.g., Lionfish). Utilizing advanced computer vision for target discrimination and a high-velocity suction intake system, the unit provides an ecological management solution for threatened coral reefs without requiring human divers.
