Exceptional Performance and Capabilities in a Compact Package
Boxfish Robotics manufacture ROVs and hovering AUVs with the focus on marine science applications.
Marine scientists require advanced tools and techniques to meet the challenges of underwater research. These must include:
- High-Resolution Images: Capturing detailed visual documentation is crucial for habitat mapping, species identification, and monitoring ecological changes.
- Environmental Sensors: To monitor and measure various ecological parameters such as temperature, salinity, and chemical composition.
- Sampling: The ability to collect sediment of water samples from the ocean floor or water column is vital for scientific analysis.
- Photogrammetry: Creating precise 3D models of underwater environments helps in detailed study and documentation of marine habitats.
Boxfish Platform: Equipped for Marine Science
The Boxfish platform is designed to meet these scientific needs, equipped with high-resolution cameras, environmental sensors, and the capability for photogrammetry and sample collection. The lightweight and portable design ensures that it can be easily transported and deployed, even in remote locations. Boxfish Robotics technology protected by the following patents: US11912386B2, US11603176B2, US11131812B2.
The Boxfish ROV: A Game-Changer for Marine Research
The Boxfish ROV is a highly effective research tool for marine scientists. Our ROVs were deployed in diverse environments from the Antarctic to remote tropical islands and the Arctic. They present a robust scientific instrument for serious research and offer high-resolution 4K live camera feed, that can be streamed on a larger screen of research vessel, allowing scientists to discuss data in real time.
The Boxfish ROV captures environmental data along with uncompressed, stabilised 4K video and 20MP RAW photos for excellent photogrammetry models. It is easily deployable from research vessels, platforms, small boats or even ice, providing excellent accessibility for scientific groups.
With customisable features and a robust design, the Boxfish ROV is ideal for various scientific applications, including climate change studies.
Boxfish Hovering AUVs: The Future of Marine Science
Boxfish AUV, built on the field-proven Boxfish ROV platform, offers unique advantages for marine scientists as it can follow predetermined paths at specific depths and low speeds, collecting high-quality video and/or sensor data onboard over wide areas without constant supervision.
Equipped with stereo cameras, Boxfish AUVs can obtain size data without deploying objects of known size into the survey area, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of field surveys. Operating autonomously at depth without surface condition constraints, Boxfish AUV makes fieldwork more efficient and reliable.
Additionally, with an optional tether, it can be piloted in ROV or hybrid modes, which is ideal for scouting, sampling, and missions requiring real-time surface control or monitoring.
