Kyocera’s Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) is a next-generation marine ICT technology that enables high-speed, high-capacity data transmission by minimizing underwater optical attenuation. This solution provides stable, real-time transmission of high-definition video and sensor data, enhancing the efficiency of marine surveys with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), improving the accuracy of structural inspections, and accelerating scientific discoveries during marine research.
Additionally, Kyocera will demonstrate world-leading 5Gbps transmission capacity that will help advance UWOC and underwater IoT.

At CES 2026 HOVERair reveals is Aqua Drone

Zero Zero Robotics announced the launch of HOVERAir AQUA, the world's first fully waterproof, self-flying camera engineered for life on water. Built for creators, athletes, and innovators, AQUA represents a category-defining leap in aerial imaging: no remote, no piloting, no compromise. Whether stand-up paddling, kayaking, wakeboarding, jetskiing, fishing, or boating, HOVERAir AQUA captures stunning third-person shots - hands-free and hassle-free. A

Say goodbye to static POVs and manual drones. AQUA redefines content creation with AI-powered tracking, waterproof design, and palm-sized portability - all hands-free, all on water. Building on the success of PROMAX, the world's No. 1 self-flying camera, Zero Zero Robotics expanded its portfolio from skiing and biking into water sports. AQUA goes further with faster flight speed, longer flight time, real-time video, and IP-67 water resistance paired with neutral buoyancy. It follows users automatically over and around the water, delivering smooth, breathtaking shots from entirely new angles and opening the door for water-sport lovers everywhere. It floats. It follows. It films - anywhere on water.

Equipped with a 4K/100 fps slow-motion camera, a 1/1.28" CMOS sensor, and a hydrophobic lens, AQUA ensures stunning image quality. With more than 15 automated flight modes such as snorkel mode and gimbal mode, as well as Level 7 wind resistance up to 33 knots, a lightweight design under 249g requiring no FAA registration, 23 minutes of flight time, and a maximum tracking speed of 55 km/h (34 mph), HOVERAir AQUA is ready to capture every adventure, hands-free and from entirely new perspectives.
