OPENSEA Edge is a powerful hardware and software package that provides system integrators and vehicle developers with full untethered subsea autonomy capabilities. Combining the OPENSEA software framework with state-of-the-art edge computers from NVIDIA and Ethernet connectivity, it allows the computing burden of processor-intensive tasks such as perception, data-gathering, advanced manipulation and autonomous navigation to be shifted from topside to the edge.
OPENSEA Edge enables the implementation of AI and machine learning-powered autonomous behaviors and tetherless command and control, while allowing the use of low-bandwidth and high-latency links thanks to the emphasis on onboard edge processing. The hardware provides subsea connector interfaces and enables easy integration of video sensors, sonars, navigation sensors, acoustic communications systems and more.
