BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN ROVS AND AUVS: Utilising autonomy to make accurate surveys easier than ever before.
Deep Trekker's REVOLUTION and PIVOT NAV ROVs are now capable of waypoint navigation and mission planning, allowing a surveyor to plot survey points on a map, and having the ROV execute the mission without the strain of needing to closely monitor the position of the ROV, and fight the current manually, as a traditional ROV operator would. Surveyors can now monitor the survey live while the ROV operates, and also pause the survey to get a closer look at specific points of interest. In the past, surveyors had to wait to gather the AUV data post mission, in order to identify areas for further inspection. If on a pipeline survey, you find a potential crack and need to get a closer look or a weld seam to investigate, no second deployment is required. With a Deep Trekker ROV, you can pause your mission, get close, log your points of interest, flag defects for your team and then resume the mission, all within a few button presses.
Ocean surveyors have been utilising Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) since 1957, autonomy is not a new concept to the offshore community. Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are a common complementary technology, offering surveyors a live feedback option to provide additional detail on key locations identified by AUVs. ROV operation in the past has often been considered difficult and time-consuming, and to add autonomy capabilities has meant expensive sensors and Utilising autonomy complex software. Deep Trekker's Bridge technology is providing to make accurate surveyors a more accessible, surveys easier than easier to operate survey system ever before by combining the assurance of autonomy and the live data feedback of a highly capable ROV.

Deep Trekker designs systems that are extremely intuitive and durable to help offshore operators, ocean surveyors, and inspection teams to get the job done in less time than ever before. If your team is in charge of any submersible inspections and surveys or is considering expanding to these capabilities, consider a Deep Trekker system, the technology chosen by thousands of operators around the globe.
