Successful Underwater Survey at the End of 2025
At the very end of 2025, we completed a series of underwater survey days in collaboration with Israel Nature and Parks Authority and the Sponge Research Laboratory of Prof. Micha Ilan at Tel Aviv University. The surveys were carried out along the Israeli coastline, at depths ranging from 10 to 100 meters, and provided an […]

3D live sonar (point cloud) for compact ROVs Weighing less than 400 grams in water and measuring approximately 12 x 8 x 4 cm, the Sonar 3D-15 is perfectly suited for small to medium-sized ROVs. It’s an ideal solution when space and weight are limited, yet high-resolution underwater imaging is still essential. Live 3D Visualization […]
Underwater Nature
Graceful Nudibranch Caught on Camera During a routine survey of an underwater gas pipeline using one of our robots, we took a moment to zoom in on a colorful and beautiful Nudibranch gliding gracefully along the seafloor – completely unfazed by the strange, glowing creature that had settled in front of it. The footage was […]
Photogrammetry during an ROV survey
During a routine survey of an underwater asset, using one of our ROVs, we performed an up-close detailed inspection of the asset and later on converted the video to a 3D photogrammetry model. Considering the fact that this was an on-the-go model, and not an intended photogrammetry survey, the result was quite satisfying and demonstrates […]
