As part of ICRS 2026 in Auckland (19–24 July 2026), Boxfish Robotics is hosting a live demonstration of the Boxfish AUV on the final day of the symposium.
This in‑water session is intended for scientists, environmental managers, and technology users who want to better understand how autonomous underwater vehicles can support coral reef research and long‑term monitoring programmes.
The demonstration will take place within central Auckland. Final location details will be shared with registered attendees closer to the event.
During the demonstration, attendees will observe how the Boxfish AUV:
The session will also include time for questions and informal discussion with the Boxfish team.
Boxfish Robotics is a New Zealand‑based company designing underwater robotic platforms for marine science, environmental monitoring, and ocean research.
Our Boxfish AUV and ROV systems are used globally by research institutions, environmental consultancies, and government agencies to support applications such as coral reef monitoring, benthic habitat mapping, and long‑term environmental surveys.
We focus on practical, field‑ready systems that reduce deployment complexity while delivering high‑quality, repeatable data.
This demonstration will be most relevant for:
No prior experience with AUVs is required.

In real marine environments, obstacles are unavoidable. Infrastructure, natural relief, moorings, debris and biological structures often appear where no prior data exists. For an AUV to operate safely and productively,…
