This max 4 knot, 3,000m or 6,000m depth capable vehicle, with 50-60-hour range at 3 knots, was first unveiled in 2019, when a first delivery was
Oceanology ’22 Day 3: New Companies, New Ideas
, CEO at Argeo, could be found talking about their plans, which includes using the Eelume snake robot for subsea IRM and conducting operations using a new Maritime Robotics USV based on an Ulstein X-bow style hull. They’ve also invested in Hugin and SeaRaptor 6000 AUVs from Kongsberg and Teledyne Gavia respectively. Other new companies looking to disrupt the data gathering space were also visiting the show, including German firms Nicola Offshore and Subsea Europe Services (SES).Set up in 2020, Nicola Offshore is a joint venture between Nicola Engineering and Dutch workboat manufacturer
iXblue, TotalEnergies Test Collaborative USV and AUV Use Off France
to demonstrate collaborative uncrewed capabilities for subsea inspection and asset survey operations.According to iXblue, successful trials were recently conducted off the coast of La Ciotat in the south of France, deploying two uncrewed platforms: iXblue DriX Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) and Teledyne Gavia Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV).Both uncrewed platforms were remotely controlled and supervised from iXblue Onshore Control Center, with iXblue DriX USV acting as a communication gateway between the onshore control center and the Gavia AUV. The two drones were able to successfully communicate
Argeo Buys Two SeaRaptor AUVs
Norwegian subsea offshore service company Argeo has procured two Teledyne Gavia SeaRaptor 6,000-meter-rated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), Teledyne Marine Vehicles, a business of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated announced.The two SeaRaptor AUVs will contribute to Argeo’s growing fleet of AUVs and will enable deep-sea surveys to the benefit of marine industries including offshore wind, aquaculture, deepsea minerals, and offshore oil and gas.The SeaRaptor 6000 AUVs will be equipped with the latest Kraken MinSAS 120 Synthetic Aperture Sonar (Kraken Robotics, Canada) providing large swath
Kraken Robotics MINSAS Available on the Teledyne Gavia AUV
Teledyne Gavia, manufacturer of Gavia, SeaRaptor and Osprey Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), announced the integration of the Kraken Robotics MINSAS Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS). The MINSAS is an off the shelf configurable Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) which replaces high end sidescan systems at an affordable price, while delivering significantly higher resolution, range, and area coverage rates (ACR). The increased range and resolution and associated higher ACR of SAS over traditional systems can significantly expand the capabilities of Teledyne Gavia AUV
AUV Case Study: Marine Roboticists are Turning AUV Sight into Perception
underwater vehicle (AUV). In the past, his AUV research had meant long ocean cruises in rough choppy waters, but for the moment, he was analyzing his algorithms from a comfortable dry seat on land.Balasuriya and his team from Charles River Analytics were developing an app for the AUVs made by Teledyne Gavia, which could navigate on their own in the oceans to take sonar surveys of the seafloor. But to be truly autonomous, they needed to automatically detect and recognize objects of interest — anything from mines to airplane black boxes to pipelines — so they could do things like decide
Next-Gen AI Capability for Teledyne Gavia AUVs
Teledyne Gavia introduced Charles River Analytics’ AutoTRap Onboard AI-based object detection software as a new capability onboard its Gavia marine vehicles. AI has emerged as a solution for delivering consistent and accurate results for underwater vehicles, led by developments such as AutoTRap Onboard, designed to be a smart, real-time automated target recognition (ATR) app offered from Charles River Analytics.The new partnership with Teledyne Gavia expands the boundaries for underwater unmanned sonar operation. Now, operators can acquire Teledyne Gavia’s unmanned underwater vehicles
