רובוט תת ימי חדש

Coming Soon: Our New Underwater Robot – Designed from Experience https://astralsubsea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Video-2025-07-28-at-18.38.40.mp4 At Astral Subsea, we’re building a new ROV system, powerful enough for deep-sea missions, yet compact enough to launch from small boats with limited space and power. The new system features: Battery-powered operation – no need for external power sources Durable, thin fiber optic […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

מפגש עם תמנון מעמקים

During a night research dive off the coast of Haifa, at a depth of over 100 meters, we had an extraordinary encounter with a curious octopus that stayed with our ROV for an unusually long time. Typically, octopus encounters are brief – these sensitive animals tend to flee quickly from the noise and bright lights […]

בחיפוש אחר ספוגים

One of our most exciting ROV mission types is our collaboration with the Sponge Lab led by Prof. Micha Ilan from Tel Aviv University (link). Together with EcoOcean’s research vessel – the Mediterranean Explorer (MedEx), we regularly carry out dives offshore Israel at sponge-rich sites around 100 meters deep. We choose sites based on bathymetric […]
