The Boxfish AUV is a next-generation tetherless hovering autonomous underwater vehicle engineered for precise subsea operations and data collection in depths of up to 600 meters. Its unique architecture supports seamless switching between fully autonomous and tethered manual control, making it ideal for complex mission profiles.
With a robust, fault-tolerant eight-thruster configuration enabling six degrees of freedom and dynamic stabilization, the vehicle delivers enhanced maneuverability in constrained underwater environments. Advanced navigation technologies—stereo cameras, USBL, IMU, and DVL—combined with proprietary autonomy algorithms allow precise, repeatable mission execution even in cluttered or variable terrain.
Equipped with an expandable sensor payload capacity and four free ports, the Boxfish AUV integrates easily with sonar and environmental sensors, positioning it as a versatile tool for scientific research and ecological monitoring. Applications range from coral reef analysis and seabed photogrammetry to invasive species tracking and benthic habitat surveys.
The Boxfish SafePath Planner offers intuitive mission setup through a graphical interface, while the Commander software provides real-time telemetry and post-mission review. A lithium-polymer power system supports up to 10 hours of dive time, with rapid recharge options enabling back-to-back deployments.
