Remote Control of Remotely Operated Vehicles

More and more examples are emerging of different industries using remote control of ROVs. Here is one example of Subsea7 operating a workclass ROV from Scotland to carry out operations 9,400km (~5,800 miles) away off the Brazilian cost: Full article at: OffshoreEngineerDigital 21aug23

ROV Retrieved a Mammoth Tusk

https://www.ksbw.com/article/monterey-bay-mammoth-tusk-science-mbari/38326538# Of all the unusual things to find, researchers at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) found and retrieved a mammoth tusk at a depth of ~3,000m (10,000 ft) off the coast of California! “This specimen’s deep-sea preservational environment is different from almost anything we have seen elsewhere,” said University of Michigan paleontologist Daniel Fisher, …

The Crochet Coral Reef and its Math

This project by Australians Christine Wertheim and Margaret Wertheim of the Institute For Figuring is an amazing fusion of artwork birthed from concerns about climate change and a global community-based exercise in applied mathematics and evolutionary theory.

Cerulean Sonar’s Insight-240 Multibeam Sonar


Cerulean has recently unveiled the Insight-240, an innovative multibeam sonar system that revolutionizes underwater imaging. With the ability to capture a comprehensive 90-degree sector in each ping, this advanced technology offers a video-like capability, providing unparalleled clarity and detail. Ideal for navigation in any conditions, precise target location, seamless tracking, and overall situational awareness, the Insight-240 sets a new standard in underwater imaging solutions.


The Insight-240 offers remarkable versatility in underwater observation, allowing users to detect echoes from a diverse range of objects including ropes, walls, dock pilings, shipwrecks, boats, fish, and various other structures that reflect sound waves. This capability enables the generation of detailed images, serving as a valuable navigation aid even in low visibility conditions. Essential features can be swiftly localised with precision, enhancing overall situational awareness.

Operating at 240 kHz with a range of 150 meters and a depth rating of 300 meters, the Insight-240 is engineered to deliver superior performance. For optimal functionality across a wide range of applications, we recommend the use of a mounting bracket equipped with a servo tilt mechanism. This ensures seamless integration and precise control, enhancing the system’s effectiveness in diverse environments.

Water Linked DVL

The Water Linked Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) is the smallest in the market, operated by estimating velocity relative to the sea bottom by sending acoustic waves from the four angled transducers, then measuring the frequency shift (doppler effect) from the received echo. By combining the measurements of all four transducers and the time between each acoustic pulse, it is possible to very accurately estimate the speed and direction of movement of an ROV.

Utilizing a Water Linked DVL, an ROV operator will feel a whole new level of stability and control of the ROV so work can be carried out with full confidence. The quality of the video will increase dramatically using the DVL, as the ROV will be significantly more stable.

Examples:
  • Maintaining stability while operating ROV tools or performing detail inspections
  • Station keeping in challenging situations like ocean currents or tether pull
  • Terrain following
  • General velocity feedback for vehicle control
