When light reveals the unseen.
What if you could capture geo-referenced underwater images with a vehicle one person can deploy ? đ
An eDNA-collecting AUV reveals the ichthyofauna of deep canyons off Banyuls-sur-Mer
Banyuls-sur-Mer (CĂŽte Vermeille, north-western Mediterranean), within the Parc naturel marin du golfe du Lion, has long been recognised as a major site of marine biodiversity.
Launch of the European AQUILA Project
đąâ We are proud to announce the launch of AQUILA, an ambitious European project supported by the European Defence Fund (EDF) for a three-year duration. đ AQUILA brings together a consortium of complementary partners: Adaptronica, Marctel, Maresco and Seaber, with the support of key subcontractors Schiebel, Erdyn and PythĂ©as. The project aims to combine the coordinated use of…
AUVs Gliders and floats: complementary platforms
AUVs, gliders and floats: three complementary pillars of underwater observation Observations from the underwater domain In the underwater domain, the key question is not which platform is best, but how to combine them intelligently. AUVs, gliders and floats are built around very different concepts of time, scale and resolution. đč AUVs â Precision and targeted…
Use Case #3 – How Dr. Taavi Liblik, Head of Marine Physics Division at TalTech â Tallinn University of Technology Transformed His Research with YUCO
đ©âđŹ Who is Taavi Liblik ? Dr. Taavi Liblik is an oceanographer at Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia. His work focuses on physical oceanography, coastal processes, and high-resolution observation of the Baltic Sea. Dr. Liblikâs research examines fine-scale physical and biogeochemical processes in the Baltic Sea, particularly in shallow and dynamic coastal zones where conventional…
AUV segments : Defense still dominates
AUV segments : Defense still dominates How the AUV market seems to be structured, and why MCM dominates Observations from the underwater domain Scope note: This post does not aim to cover all AUV applications or sensor types. Excluding very large AUVs, the segments below reflect where operational adoption and market volume are currently concentrated.…
AUVs Customization VS standardization
AUVs customization VS standardization More sensors donât automatically mean better missions. Observations from the underwater domain. Adding sensors often feels like progress. More data. More insight. More capability. But when payload sensors are combined with navigation and positioning systems, the number of possible configurations grows exponentially. Very quickly, each AUV becomes a quasi-unique configuration. This…
AUV Classes and Cost Scaling
AUV Classes and Cost Scaling AUV segmentation is changing and it matters Observations from the underwater domain AUV categories are still often treated as simple size labels. This is increasingly misleading. Today, segmentation reflects fundamentally different system architectures and operational philosophies, and these philosophies are evolving rapidly. This shift is driven by technology: sensor miniaturization,…
Side-scan sonar & AUVs: frequency selection, navigation, and risk management
In the world of AUVs, the side-scan sonar is arguably the most widely used payload sensor for seabed detection and mapping â aside from the navigation sensors inherently required for vehicle control and safety.
