Boxfish Robotics is presenting its latest autonomous underwater technologies at OCEANS 2025 Great Lakes, held in Chicago from September 29 to October 2. The company will showcase the Boxfish AUV and the resident ARV-i at Stand #630.
The Boxfish AUV is a fully autonomous, tetherless system developed for applications including benthic habitat surveys, fish and coral monitoring, and photogrammetry. The platform extends the company’s expertise into autonomous monitoring and survey missions, supporting researchers, conservation groups, and policymakers in addressing issues such as climate change impacts, invasive species, and habitat loss.
The ARV-i offers a resident capability for long-term monitoring. Designed to remain docked on the seafloor or lakebed, it can autonomously undock to perform scheduled or on-demand tasks before returning to its docking station. The vehicle recharges wirelessly and transfers collected data automatically. This resident capability enables continuous observations while reducing operational risk, cost, and carbon footprint.
Boxfish Robotics’ technology has already been applied within the Great Lakes. The Boxfish Luna ROV was deployed by Inspired Planet Productions during the filming of All Too Clear: Beneath the Surface of the Great Lakes. The same platform also demonstrated live-streaming capability and imaging performance during a scientific expedition to the Superior Shoal, operated from the research vessel Blue Heron, with a recorded version of the expedition available for viewing.
Visitors can meet the Boxfish Robotics team at OCEANS 2025 Great Lakes, Stand #630.
