Boxfish Robotics announces the release of the Boxfish AUV Research Kit, an advanced platform designed to help scientists and engineers develop and deploy custom computer vision algorithms.
The Boxfish AUV Research Kit provides comprehensive, reliable research platform and removes the need for extensive equipment setup, testing and preparation for their studies, offering an effective solution for underwater imaging and computer vision research. With field-proven Boxfish AUV with its 6DOF navigation system and exceptional imaging capabilities, researchers can focus directly on innovation and pushing the boundaries of their work.
The Boxfish AUV Research Kit includes robust, high-performance Boxfish AUV hardware, including a 300-meter depth-rated housing, machine vision cameras, high CRI lighting for optimal visibility, and advanced positioning USBL and DVL systems. It supports the addition of sensors and tools for diverse scientific tasks and industry focused applications.
Boxfish TetheLink, the interface for connecting with the drone over fibre optics tether, offers testing of new algorithms with the live feed to the surface.
With Boxfish AUV Research Kit researchers benefit from the system’s ROS 2 framework, which provides access to all existing Boxfish AUV motion and imaging system nodes, enabling easy customisation and new software development. The Boxfish mission planning software simplifies testing, making the system straightforward to use.
The Boxfish AUV Research Kit empowers computer engineers and researchers by simplifying the path to innovation. By eliminating unnecessary setup and technical hurdles, we enable scientists to focus on advancing underwater autonomy and achieving groundbreaking results – says Craig Anderson, founder of Boxfish Robotics.
With Boxfish AUV Research Kit, researchers gain access to a reliable platform for exploring applications such as underwater object recognition, 3D mapping, following target species and more. Examples of computer vision work:
