Revolutionizing Underwater Exploration: The Voyis adn Deep Trekker Partnership
The integration of Voyis’ Discovery Camera with deep trekker’s REVOLUTION remotely Operated vehicle (ROV) marks a significant advancement in underwater survey and inspection technology.
This collaboration highlights the innovative spirit of both companies, aiming to elevate underwater exploration to new heights.
Deep Trekker’s REVOLUTION ROV: A Robust Underwater Solution
Deep Trekker’s REVOLUTION ROV is engineered to navigate the most challenging underwater environments,offering exceptional stability and maneuverability. Its unique rotating head allows for optimal positioning of various attachments, including imaging sonar and robotic arms, making it versatile for a wide range of applications.
With the capability to dive to depths of 305 meters, the ROV is equipped with six powerful thrusters that provide precise control for both vertical and horizontal movements, even in turbulent waters. This advanced thruster arrangement ensures not only stability but also the ability to make fine adjustments during inspections.The ROV’s durable design, featuring a carbon fiber shell, anodized aluminum, stainless steel components, and a sapphire lens cover, guarantees reliability in demanding conditions.
Voyis’ Discovery Cameras: Enhancing Underwater Imaging
Voyis’ Discovery Cameras, complemented by Nova Mini Lights, introduce a new level of clarity to underwater imaging. These state-of-the-art cameras capture 4K video with minimal delay while also producing high-resolution still images and IMU data. The data can be processed through edge computing to create detailed 3D models, enhancing ROV piloting and inspection capabilities. The cameras deliver sharp images suitable for advanced machine vision and 3D modeling, featuring real-time image enhancement, a wide field of view (130°x130°), and distortion correction for comprehensive situational awareness. Designed for compactness,these cameras include integrated lighting and support for DDS data architecture and ROS2,facilitating seamless vehicle integration,especially for autonomous applications.
Prosperous Trials: A New Chapter in Underwater Exploration
The successful integration of the Discovery Camera with the REVOLUTION ROV was validated during trials conducted in tobermory,Ontario.The collaborative efforts of both teams demonstrated the ROV’s capabilities in piloting and inspection, showcasing the potential of this powerful combination. This integration provides professionals with an unparalleled toolkit for underwater surveys, inspections, and explorations.
The synergy between the REVOLUTION ROV’s ruggedness and maneuverability and the Discovery Camera’s imaging capabilities opens new opportunities across various sectors, including marine research, aquaculture, defense, infrastructure inspection, and offshore energy asset management.
