Recently I spotted what looked like a drone vessel on the Thames (above). I wasn't entirely sure what it does but guessed those two pods on arms at the top were antennas for satellite navigation, hence it could be surveying.
A bit of googling later and came up links such as this to this product page for the HyDrone-RCV which as expected is a remote controlled drone boat for surveying purposes.
As a sense of scale, here is it being retrieved:
Very cool.

Lucky they had that big crane handy!!

Hope your local harbormaster doesn't read about Buff's Brilliant Buoys then!
