The ARV-i is an innovative AUV designed to provide a longterm resident capability for continuous remote monitoring and inspection of a variety of assets. Combining cutting-edge technologies from both Boxfish and Transmark Subsea, it can stay submerged for months at a time, and features an eight-thruster design for high levels of stability and manoeuvrability.
The vehicle utilizes sophisticated autonomy and onboard artificial intelligence to move optimally, observe, transmit data, and recharge itself at a docking station when required. It also features a manual piloting mode for when precise human observation is required, and can be remotely controlled from anywhere in the world using 4G/Internet tether extension adapters.
The vehicle can be equipped with an array of up to six machine vision cameras and one 4K navigation camera, as well as 17,000 lumens of lighting. These powerful capabilities enable it to capture and stream crystal-clear video footage for unparalleled observation. The vehicle is designed to operate without a tether connection, but can be optionally equipped with one to allow users to access uncompressed video and higher data transmission rates.
