This partnership will encompass integration of sensory data, user interface optimization, secure data transfer to the cloud, and integrating edge computing and storage solutions. Together, these advancements will enable seamless communication, and robust command and control capabilities
Robosys to Supply AI-driven Autonomous Control System for Legacy Marine USV
the remote operations centre team to autonomously operate the vessel with the assurance that it will actively avoid collision and alert the teams with information and reasoned decision aids. Voyager AI Vessel provides fully autonomous navigation for uncrewed or lean crewed vessel. Utilising EDGE Computing, VOYAGER AI features also include smart mission continuity of operations under a loss of communications situation.The project was spearheaded and is being managed by Consultant, Eddie Noble of Noble Concentric Solutions, also based in South Africa, who has been supported by Robosys Automation&rsquo
Greensea IQ Demos Autonomous Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mission
Greensea IQ reports it has completed a demonstration of a prototype Autonomous EOD Maritime Response Vehicle (AEMRV) for the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and US Navy. Leaning on the capabilities of OPENSEA Edge, the system provides the computing resources needed to power edge perception systems and advanced autonomous behaviors of EOD Workspace, allowing human-on-the-loop autonomy and untethered command and control over the ROV platform.The demo took place over several days in September in the open ocean off the coast of San Diego, featuring a fully integrated OPENSEA Edge-driven untethered ROV
Voyis Discovery Camera Integrated with Deep Trekker REVOLUTION ROV
shell, anodized aluminum, stainless steel body, and sapphire lens cover.Voyis' Discovery Cameras, enhanced by the Nova Mini Lights, capture 4K video with minimal latency while simultaneously generating high-resolution still images and IMU data. The resulting assets can be processed through edge computing to produce intricate 3D models. These capabilities find applications in intelligent ROV piloting and comprehensive inspections. The cameras produce clear stills suitable for advanced machine vision and 3D modeling, complemented by real-time image enhancement, an ultra-wide field of view (130°
AI & Seabed Mapping Project Recognized
GeoAcoustics, in partnership with the University of East Anglia’s School of Computing Sciences, was named as a finalist in the category of Technical Excellence at the national Knowledge Transfer Partnership awards, following the co-development of an AI solution aimed to improve the speed and ease of real-time seabed mapping.GeoAcoustics, a manufacturer of sonar equipment for seabed mapping, approached UEA’s School of Computing Sciences, and feasibility study was first undertaken to see if AI technology could automatically remove unwanted noise from sonar data. This was carried out by
Inside the Subsea Cable Firm Secretly Helping America Take on China
calling out Beijing for espionage. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at the time that the accusations were part of a U.S. disinformation campaign, describing America as the “empire of hacking.”In December of last year, the Pentagon awarded $9 billion worth of Cloud computing contracts to Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Oracle, entrusting these companies to keep America’s most closely held secrets under digital lock and key.“Silicon Valley is waking up to the reality that it has to pick a side,” said Jacob Helberg, former head of Google’s news
Modeling Micro-algae to Better Understand the Workings of the Ocean
in symbiosis with diatom algae) are involved in significant carbon flows toward the depths).Despite their importance, diazotrophs are often represented in a very sketchy way in digital models. This is a result of both our understanding of their physiology still being limited, and constraints in computing capacity – when one adds complexity to the models, simulations take too long or need more powerful processors.Many international models, like those used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, still work on the basis of assuming that nitrogen is artificially added to the ocean&rsquo
Shell to Use New AI Technology in Deepwater Oil Exploration
technology would generate subsurface images using fewer seismic data scans than usual, helping with deep sea preservation, the companies said. Seismic technology sends sound waves to explore subsurface areas. Fewer seismic surveys accelerate exploration workflow and would save costs in high-performance computing, they added.(Reuters - Reporting by Stephanie Kelly; Editing by Richard Chang
HydroSurv Sells Three REAV-16 USVs to MSeis
the productivity and efficiency gains offered by small USVs and we’re confident they will deliver outstanding performance and results for this important new customer”.According to HydroSurv, MSeis selected REAV-16s due to their ease of operation, communications capability and onboard computing power. "The versatile craft provide a most suitable platform for mounting small hydrophone arrays or calibrated hydrophones that can be towed or accurately positioned on station respectively. Simple deployment, requiring no specialized equipment, was also seen as a real advantage,"
