Swedish Sea Drone Can Float on Water

A Swedish firm has tested an unmanned hydrofoil craft called GhostFoil, which can glide above the water's surface using principles similar to those of aircraft wings. The technology was initially developed by a student group at the Technical University of Stockholm in 2008 under the name 'Evolo.' This concept later evolved into commercial electric foil boards used for watersports. Now, the same principle has been applied to create an autonomous drone capable of navigating through busy waters without human intervention. The GhostFoil uses advanced sensors and control systems to maintain balance and adjust its flight height continuously. While there is still room for improvement in mechanical design and control systems, the successful test marks a significant technological advancement.
