Conceptual Water Testing Turtles

Beatbot has officially previewed its new robot turtle at CES 2025, showcasing a conceptual turtle-shaped robot that uniquely purifies and navigates bodies of water.

Designed explicitly for water level testing, Beatbot is a solar-powered robot that comes equipped with onboard sensors to determine the unit's location - above or submerged in water. The company hopes to use this technology to monitor oil spill conditions, survey disaster damage, and monitor endangered species.

“The Robotic Turtle embodies our vision of leveraging Beatbot’s leading technology to address critical ecological challenges on a global scale,” says Beatbot exec, York Guo. “It is a partner to help safeguard communities and preserve the safest water levels for all creatures. This unique robot serves the planet for good alongside conservationists, scientists, and emergency responders.”
