Cellula Robotics Ltd. Imotus Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (HAUV)

Imotus is built on a modular core platform, using ROS over Ethernet to communicate between the navigation sensors, main computer and payload modules.  Proprietary simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms have been developed to enable navigation, station keeping, route following and autonomous operation in a variety of confined space environments. For open-water environments, dead reckoning is used.

The vehicle can operate with or without a fiber optic umbilical and can dock underwater for recharging, mission data downloads and task updates.
