Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are unmanned, untethered submersibles equipped with sensors and cameras, allowing for autonomous data collection in various ocean environments. They are increasingly used for mapping, surveying, and monitoring marine ecosystems.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are tethered underwater robots controlled by operators on the surface. They are equipped with manipulator arms, cameras, and sensors, enabling precise data collection, sample collection, and maintenance of underwater infrastructure.
Multi-beam Sonar Systems
Multi-beam sonar systems are advanced acoustic instruments used for high-resolution mapping of the seafloor and water column. They provide detailed bathymetric data and enable the identification of underwater features and habitats.
Gliders
Gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles that use changes in buoyancy to move through the water. Equipped with sensors for measuring various oceanographic parameters, they are used for long-term, high-resolution data collection in remote or inaccessible areas.
Underwater Drones
Underwater drones are compact, maneuverable vehicles equipped with cameras and sensors for underwater exploration and data collection. They are increasingly used for marine research, environmental monitoring, and underwater inspections.
