Intelligent Framework for Advanced ROV Technology

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.

Key Features

Auto White Balance – Capture crisp imagery with BRIDGE’s automatic color correction and white balancing algorithms.

Digital Zoom – Get up close and personal on the target with our enhanced digital zoom functionality.

Low-Light Performance – Highly sensitive cameras that perform well in poor lighting conditions, which are very common underwater.

Turbidity Filtering – See through the murk with automatic turbidity filtering, enhancing your performance in challenging search environments.

Photogrammetry Out-of-the-Box – Key features such as auto-snapshot and reduced motion blur help operators capture imagery specifically for generating a 3D model easily.

Autonomous Navigation

Experience the power of fully autonomous missions with 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.

Mission PlannerFeatures include:

  • Intuitive Waypoint Visualization
  • Breadcrumbing (Intelligent Pathfinding)
  • Advanced Data Capture
  • Customizable Mission Profiles

Industry Use Cases

Avoid Costly Downtime With ROVs

Conduct regular inspections of ship hulls without the need for dry docking. Conduct emergency hull inspections, night inspections, ballast tank inspections, and marina checks easily and effectively with Deep Trekker remotely operated vehicles.

PIVOT ROV Deployment

Efficient and Safe Submerged Structural Inspections

Structures such as bridges, dams, subsea cable systems, and reservoirs have submerged components that are difficult to get eyes on. It is important to regularly inspect these, but the cost of divers is typically prohibitive. Deep Trekker ROVs give you the ability to perform these inspections quickly, safely, and more frequently.

What Our Customers Say

ROVs for critical applications

Lar Lind, Miko Marine
“Nice and handy ROV. A perfect alternative to divers when you need eyes underwater. Virtually no preparation needed. Just bring the case to your work site, take out the ROV, connect the remote, and throw it in the water.”

David Haire, Pittsburg Tank & Tower
“Best customer service I have ever experienced. These guys’ products work beyond compare and they will help you in any way possible with any questions you have. Blew my mind when the owner of the company actually called me himself and has emailed me several times to assist with questions. We just started using them but we will be changing our entire fleet to Deep Trekker due to their superb products and the fact that you know you are dealing with a company that actually cares and wants to do everything they can to help their customers. Outstanding company.”

Doug Noyes, Dive Project Manager / Dive Safety Manager at Peraton Inc.
“Deep Trekker, and all their support and sales staff, always immediately address our questions, issues, and any concerns. They immediately answer phone calls and immediately respond to email inquiries. They bend over backwards to assist with anything we have needed or ideas on training and troubleshooting. I would have to say that Deep Trekker has consistently provided the best customer support of literally any professional organization I have ever worked or communicated with in over 23 years of military service and 15 years of commercial diving experience.”
