MTR100: 2G Robotics
Designer and manufacturer of underwater laser scanning and imaging equipment for 3D modeling and measurements, 2G Robotics, founded in 2007, has established a global presence in the subsea industry. The company’s laser scanners – which can be diver deployed or integrated with ROVs or AUVs for dynamic scanning – generate true-scale submillimeter resolution 3D models of subsea structures and environments in real-time, and have been used on all seven continents at extreme depths for a range of underwater inspections, including the high-profile Costa Concordia salvage operation and HMS Erebus exploration. The high point density of the data effectively resolves fine-scale dimensional features that traditional methods fail to capture, allowing for detailed and efficient inspections of complex underwater structures and environments.
