Inspecting tunnels in zero visibility presents a significant challenge. Unknown geometry, confined access and the inability to rely on camera-based inspection make conventional methods ineffective.

During a recent inspection, Deep Dive Division deployed a Boxfish ROV to assess a 163‑metre tunnel in near zero visibility conditions, using imaging sonar for controlled navigation and pipe profiling sonar to capture continuous cross‑sectional data along the full length.

The resulting dataset was reconstructed into a full 3D model, providing a clear representation of tunnel geometry, sediment accumulation and structural condition. Combined with Deep Dive Division’s multidisciplinary expertise, this enabled clear and actionable insight into the asset.

🔴 Hidden Below: The Great Lakes is taking audiences this time to the deepest point of Lake Superior below 400 meters. More than 55 kilometres offshore and under pressures over 40 times greater than at the surface, this rarely seen world was last explored by scientists in a submersible 41 years ago and now it’s being brought back into view though the lens of the Boxfish Luna.

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.

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

At Boxfish, we’re motivated by supporting research teams as they advance autonomous underwater systems for demanding real‑world conditions.The MOLA AUV developed by MBARI demonstrates how scientists can benefit from a field proven Boxfish hardware platform and use it to test, validate, and advance their own autonomy and perception algorithms in real‑world conditions.

And the journey continues!

Production is now underway on Hidden Below: The Great Lakes, with the Boxfish Luna ROV in the hands of award-winning Canadian filmmakers at Inspired Planet Productions, supporting a fresh look into one of the most overlooked ecosystems on the planet.

From familiar wildlife to hidden species, this is about seeing what’s always been there, just out of view. Check out the teaser!

Interesting read on how expectations for underwater vehicles are evolving from the perspective of different manufacturers published by Marine Technology Reporter Magazine. It’s encouraging to see how the industry continues to push the boundaries of capability, precision, and usability.

At Boxfish Robotics, we’re excited to be part of this evolution by offering portable Boxfish AUV platforms capable of sub-millimetre imaging resolution and high-accuracy positioning, enabling researchers and operators to capture detailed data even in complex underwater environments.

Underwater vehicles have solidified their position, with autonomous and remotely operated platforms becoming core operational tools across offshore…

Boxfish Robotics will participate in the Ocean Action Forum 2025 in Jeddah, KSA. The event focuses on advancing marine sustainability and innovation, aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, and brings together experts and decision-makers to explore practical solutions for ocean ocean health and resilience.

We will present autonomous platforms, the Boxfish AUV and Boxfish ARV-i, for coral reef monitoring, benthic survey, and photogrammetry, that offer high-resolution sub-millimetre geo-referenced imaging and enable continuous monitoring in marine environments.

We look forward to meeting with customers and partners to discuss inspection needs, digital twin applications, and regional collaboration opportunities. If attending, we welcome you to visit us in the exhibition area.
