Take a look at our round-up of the five most read articles on UST this week, including new technologies, partnerships, events, and industry successes.
1. Boxfish ROV Used to Discover 128-Year-Old Shipwreck
Documentary filmmakers Yvonne Drebert and Zach Melnick used Boxfish Robotics’ Boxfish Luna ROV and its ultra-low-light, high resolution camera system to discover an intact shipwreck.
Melnick and Drebert are a husband-and-wife filmmaking team that specializes in underwater videography using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Their ROV, a Boxfish Luna, has an ultra-low-light, high resolution camera system, and is one of only a handful like it in the world.
2. Embention & EANAN Partner for Growth of Unmanned Aircraft in UAE
Embention and EANAN have formed a strategic collaboration for UAE’s unmanned aircraft growth under a joint venture with an initial investment of $5 million.
In a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement signed at the Dubai Airshow 2023, the companies have committed to manufacturing a minimum of 3,000 Veronte Autopilots per year in Dubai, which is the core flight control system for Eanan’s aircraft.
3. New Compact EO/IR Drone Payload with AI-Assisted Detection
Gremsy has introduced the Vio series of lightweight plug-and-play EO/IR payloads, compatible with multiple drone platforms and featuring a 4K zoom sensor, a 640×512 radiometric thermal camera, and an integrated laser rangefinder with a range of up to 2400m.
Designed for professional applications such as industrial inspection and search and rescue, the Vio Series is available in two variants with different thermal cores.
4. Teledyne Marine Deploys Osprey AUV During NATO Exercise
Teledyne Marine deployed multiple Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) during REPMUS 23 experimentation and DYNAMIC MESSENGER 23 exercise in Troia and Sesimbra, Portugal.
Using its interferometric sonar, Osprey was able to generate high resolution images of a 18mm diameter cable and identify the emplacement of multiple inert explosive ordnance devices via change detection from the side scan sonar images.
5. Open Source Flight Log Analysis for Drone Diagnostics
Tilak.io, a specialist developer of desktop and embedded software for drones and robotics, has created Tiplot, an open source application for Windows and Linux that allows users to analyze flight log data and plot it in 3D to provide actionable insights.
In addition to desktop tools like Tiplot, Tilak.io is also highly experienced in developing embedded firmware and software for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and robotic vehicles.
