Boxfish Robotics

Operating a hovering AUV close to the seabed delivers the image quality and repeatability scientists and inspectors need, but it also places the vehicle in the most challenging part of the environment. Infrastructure, natural relief, moorings, debris and biological structures can all become collision risks during low altitude surveys.

In our recent blog, we break down how the Boxfish AUV performs obstacle avoidance during low altitude surveys, illustrating how sensing and onboard autonomy allow the vehicle to adapt its path and altitude.

How Does Boxfish AUV Obstacle Avoidance Work Learn how Boxfish AUV obstacle avoidance works using DVL‑based awareness and stereo cameras, and why it is critical for safe, repeatable environmental surveys.

Boxfish ROV Captures Marine Research Footage for Upcoming Premiere - Ocean Science & Technology Scientists from the University of Tasmania have used a custom Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) from Boxfish Robotics to capture underwater...

Boxfish Robotics’ resident docking solution and autonomous resident vehicle, ARV-i, took centre stage at Ocean Business 2025 earlier this year at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, UK. Built for continuous subsea operations, ARV-i autonomously returns to its dock to recharge and upload data, eliminating the need for surface intervention and helping reduce the carbon footprint of ocean exploration. Thanks to Ocean Science & Technology for featuring our technology and helping spotlight the future of subsea autonomy.
