Australia, April 2024 – Advanced Navigation, a global leader in AI robotics and navigation technology, is bringing humans closer to the ocean like never before – starting with a drone.

Hydrus uncovers a hundred-year-old 64-meter shipwreck scattered across the seafloor along the treacherous depths of Rottnest Island’s ship graveyard.

Hydrus makes underwater data capture more detailed and accessible.

Hydrus explores the deep ocean to monitor Australia’s coral reefs and uncover shipwrecks.

Oil rigs, those formidable structures used for extracting crude oil and natural gas from beneath the ocean floor, face an intriguing dilemma when they reach the end of their productive life. In accordance with international law, governments typically require retired oil rigs be treated as maritime waste and removed. However, there is a growing interest in repurposing them as artificial reefs.

In his feature article, CEO and co-founder Xavier Orr unpacks how micro-AUVs are representing a paradigm shift in ocean exploration.

In October 2023, Advanced Navigation deployed its micro hovering autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Hydrus off Rottnest Island, Western Australia. The purpose of the mission was to capture high-quality still imagery and 4K video, for the purposes of benthic inspection and 3D photogrammetry reconstruction.

Advanced Navigation’s Hydrus revolutionizes ocean exploration and underwater survey.

Hydrus is revolutionizing the aquaculture industry by offering cost-effective and sustainable solutions for monitoring seabed health.
