Two fully operational ecoSUBu AUVs were out on show at Oceans-17 in Aberdeen last week on the Planet Ocean stand. The ecoSUB AUVs attracted a lot of interest from the attending science community, with many discussions about the role a small, low cost AUV could play in ocean research.

Dr Alex Phillips, Head of Marine Autonomous Systems Development at National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and ecoSUB Technical Lead also presented an excellent and well received paper on the design and development of ecoSUB and highlighted some of the novel and innovative launch and recovery systems working with ecoSUB.

Our new ecoSUB Robotics Limited website is now live, providing information about the exciting new Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technology being developed in partnership with the Marine Autonomous Robotics Systems (MARS) group at National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Southampton.

ecoSUB AUVs are small, affordable platforms designed to increase accessibility to autonomous systems in the marine environment. The technology has benefited from both the expertise of NOC engineers, and also the robust engagement of end users like marine scientists, defence users and oil & gas operators.

We will keep the website up to date with progress made and will start to provide more information about the capabilities of both ecoSUBµ and ecoSUBm.
