…month agreed to purchase a DriX uncrewed surface vessel (USV) from Exail to support deepwater geophysical and asset-inspection operations. This will include autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) positioning, as well as offshore and nearshore surveys. The USV will enable Oceaneering to improve operational efficiencies, reduce overall vessel time on site, and reduce carbon emissions, it said. Oceaneering announced at Offshore Europe that its new USV will support remote survey work scopes. Source: Oceaneering Mobile Robotics group grows in North America Oceaneering Mobile Robotics (OMR) said it has been a trusted partner for the automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics industries for over…

…floor. Alameda, Calif.-based Saildrone develops autonomous uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) that carry a wide range of sensors. NVIDIA Jetson modules process its data streams for artificial intelligence at the edge. They are optimized in prototypes with the NVIDIA DeepStream software development kit (SDK) for intelligent video analytics. Saildrone said it is seeking to make ocean data collection cost-effective, offering systems for science, fisheries, weather forecasting, ocean mapping, and maritime security. The company offers three different USVs, and its Mission Portal control center service is used for monitoring customized missions and visualizing data in near real time. In addition, some of…

…among unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to perform complex navigation and manipulation tasks in a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-denied environment. A swarm of UAVs must identify a target vessel from several similar vessels in open waters in a GNSS-denied environment. It must then offload specific items from the target onto an USV in the shortest possible time using autonomous technologies. Morrish said this is a new kind of exercise for robotics. “A nice thing about this challenge is that you tell people what you want, but you don’t specify an approach to do it,” he…

…preserve the world. Saildrone said its uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) include advanced sensors and embedded artificial intelligence to to deliver critical insights from any ocean, at any time of year. The American-owned and operated company added that its USVs are predominantly powered by renewable wind and solar power, resulting in a minimal carbon footprint. Saildrone USVs cross oceans for data Saildrone said its products are based on data collected from its fleet of USVs. It claimed that they are the most reliable autonomous vehicles on the planet, sailing over 500,000 nautical miles and clocking more than 15,000 days at sea…
