EcoSUB Robotics Limited is a company spun out of Planet Ocean Limited, a UK based marine science technology specialist, following extensive collaboration with the Marine Autonomous Robotics Systems (MARS) group at National Oceanography Centre (NOC), UK. ecoSUB Robotics Limited`s engineering and development team are based in the Marine Robotics Innovation Centre in the NOC, Southampton, UK, benefiting from the facilities and expertise located within hub of UK marine autonomous systems development. ecoSUB is supported by some great exclusive distributors based around the world.
I. Application:
- ecoSUB AUVs serve a wide range of sectors, with the capability to deploy useful sensors like high accuracy CTD, pH, PAM, fluorimeters & Side Scan Sonar.
- Many more users from research, academia and teaching will be able to access marine autonomous systems (MAS) and apply the benefits of collecting wide spatial and temporal data. Our aim is to democratise the use of AUV technology.
- Defence.
- Offshore Industry: Oil & Gas sector, offshore wind power…..
II. Products Range
- ecoSUBµ5 - 500 m rated Micro-AUV
Our ecoSUBµ5 (Micro) AUVs have been designed to maintain the cylinder rule (no sticky outy bits), making them ideal for autonomous launch applications. They are very light weight, easy to launch and recover and ideal for carrying a small payload like a CT sensor, fluorometer, SVP, hydrophone, etc. They can also carry an acoustic nano-modem, enabling them to act in underwater communication networks.
