Revolutionizing Underwater Exploration: The ARV-i
The Autonomous Underwater Resident Vehicle, known as ARV-i, has been developed by Boxfish Research in collaboration with Transmark Subsea. This cutting-edge technology is set to enhance the experience at the Museum of the Canals in Amsterdam (Grachtenmuseum Amsterdam) by introducing a new multimedia exhibition.
enhancing Visitor Experience with Underwater Insights
While the museum already narrates the history of Amsterdam’s canals, the integration of video footage and data gathered by the ARV-i will provide a deeper understanding of the waterways. This autonomous vehicle is engineered to navigate and monitor underwater environments independently, utilizing pre-set programming and advanced onboard intelligence to identify and analyse submerged structures.
Exploring Key Themes in Water Management
The exhibition will delve into various critical topics, including water management practices, the ecosystem within the canals, their usage, visibility challenges, and maintainance strategies. This thorough approach aims to educate visitors on the intricate relationship between the canals and the city.
ARV-i: A Game Changer for Underwater Monitoring
The ARV-i stands out as a pioneering autonomous underwater vehicle designed for the continuous surveillance of submerged assets. its applications extend to the automated inspection of offshore energy facilities, oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and aquaculture sites. Remarkably, the ARV-i can operate entirely underwater for durations of up to 12 months per deployment, making it an invaluable tool for ongoing underwater research and monitoring.
