With impressive dedication to leading the autonomy revolution in subsea and ocean exploration, Boxfish Robotics develops innovative subsea robotics technologies to provide clients with remarkable insights into the underwater world. 

The company’s hovering autonomous underwater vehicles (HAUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) serve a broad variety of markets and industries, notably including cinematography with the Boxfish LUNA ROV, developed to capture stable, high-quality footage at depths inhospitable to human divers. 

Further applications of Boxfish’s technologies include marine and environmental science, commercial asset inspection, offshore wind energy, aquaculture, biosecurity, search and rescue, and the development of subsea autonomy.

For underwater remote monitoring and inspection applications, Boxfish’s ARV-i is the ideal solution, able to stay submerged for months thanks and giving the option to operate with a tether for uncompressed video and higher transmission rates. 

The vehicle can be equipped with up to six machine vision cameras and one 4K navigation camera, as well as 17,000 lumens of lighting. The 4K camera is present on many of the other models, including the Boxfish Alpha, the LUNA, and the Boxfish ROV, which can be used for a range of applications and differ in their features and potential attachments.

The Boxfish AUV, however, stands out with regard to its versatility and use in autonomy applications. It has six degrees of freedom thanks to its eight powerful 3D-vectored thrusters — enabling movement in any direction — and is built around the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier AI computer running ROS 2 for autonomous mission programming. 

Recent releases and applications concerning these cutting-edge technologies include a deep-dive into footage stabilization techniques for the LUNA, the monitoring of unusual shark behavior off the Australian coast, and much more.
