Product Features
Advanced ROV robot technology for intelligent integration
Our advanced underwater ROVs are powered by BRIDGE technology, a proprietary hardware and software framework that leverages multi-core processing to provide a set of high-tech features seamlessly across all our robotic platforms.
BRIDGE is an architecture framework that combines hardware and software to facilitate the expansion of capabilities and enable seamless communication between the ROV (remotely operated vehicle), its controller, and 3rd party sensors and tools. Featuring teleoperation capabilities, advanced data capture, autonomous navigation, and more.
This framework integrates with the BRIDGE Box hardware to ensure clear communication between the controller and robots. It utilizes algorithms to ensure low latency, enabling real-time control with virtually no input lag.
BRIDGE Box: Control from Any Device, Anywhere
BRIDGE Box expands the capabilities of Deep Trekker ROVs by enabling remote control and data access from virtually any Windows-based device. Operators can manage missions from a control room, field truck, laptop, or tablet, with support for multi-screen displays and live data feeds.
Built for flexibility, the system allows for real-time video monitoring, sensor integration, and mission control across varied deployment environments. Whether in the field or at a desk, BRIDGE Box provides a practical interface for remote ROV operations and data collection.
Want to use a gamepad-style controller? No problem. Want six monitors in a shipping container? You got it. Set up your workstation while using a flexible software platform that will grow with your needs.
- Live streaming/multi-tenant viewing
- Integration with permanent console setups
- Remote operation
BRIDGE Console: All-in-One Control Station for ROVs

Underwater Navigation Technology
Deep Trekker Mission Planner
Execute autonomous underwater missions with precision using Deep Trekker’s Mission Planner. Equipped with IMUs, USBL, and DVL sensors, our NAV packages interpret live positional data, enabling seamless autonomous navigation.
Simply set waypoints by dragging and dropping or uploading preset coordinates, and watch as your ROV effortlessly follows the designated path, recording data along the way. Conduct underwater surveys with optimized efficiency and reduced operator workload. Seamlessly integrate sonar, video, and water quality sensors with the BRIDGE software, allowing operators to focus on gathering comprehensive data while the ROV autonomously follows the planned mission route.
Features include:
- Intuitive Waypoint Visualization
- Breadcrumbing (Intelligent Pathfinding)
- Advanced Data Capture
- Customizable Mission Profiles
Dead Reckoning
Maintain accurate navigation in GPS- and acoustic-denied environments with Deep Trekker’s Dead Reckoning capabilities. By leveraging onboard IMUs and DVLs, the system calculates real-time position estimates based on known velocity and heading – allowing the ROV to continue along a mission path even when external signals are temporarily lost.
Dead Reckoning ensures continuity during tunnel inspections, under-structure surveys, or operations near steel or concrete that block acoustic signals. When the vehicle regains contact with USBL or GPS references, its position is automatically corrected, maintaining the integrity of your recorded track.
ROV GPS
Track surface position of the vehicle in real time with Deep Trekker’s integrated ROV GPS module.
Mounted on top of the ROV, the GPS receiver provides a live surface fix whenever the vehicle is above the waterline, transmitting position data to the BRIDGE software interface.
ROV GPS is especially useful for shallow water or nearshore operations, enabling accurate logging of inspection routes and simplifying return-to-location workflows for repeated surveys or structure monitoring.
Automatic Distance Lock
The Distance Lock module is specifically designed for our REVOLUTION and PIVOT ROVs, enabling the vehicles to maintain a consistent distance from vertical surfaces such as ship hulls and underwater structures without the need for continual manual adjustments. The compact sensor provides locking ranges from 0.5 to 10 meters, and works at depths of down to 300 meters.
ROV Automatic Distance LockThe easy-to-integrate module operates at a 500kHz CHIRP frequency, and is ideal for reducing operator fatigue and enhancing efficiency in a variety of applications where consistent proximity to a surface is critical, including:
- Hydroelectric dam and nuclear facility inspections
- Sea wall and ship hull inspections
- Civil engineering and infrastructure
