Simplifying Aquaculture Cage Net Inspection with an Autonomous ROVToday, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) equipped with a camera and sensors do a lot of the inspection work. The Nortek DVL1000 (bottom right) installed on the Artifex net inspection ROV. But, in terms of maintaining distance from the cage net, it is the DVL that does the work. Testing an Aquaculture ROV in Deeper, Rougher WatersArtifex and its successor projects are part of a drive with much wider ambitions. This, in turn, makes any extra time that can be devoted to net inspection an even more precious commodity, accentuating the benefit of autonomous navigation using the DVL.
