ROV technology is increasingly being used in aquaculture, for operations such as mooring inspection, washing and inspection of nets. The technology has not been further developed and specially adapted for the typical aquaculture operations, and there is thus a great potential for improvements. Project owner Argus Remote Systems is one of the leading offshore ROV suppliers, which in recent years has also delivered such vessels to the aquaculture sector. The company wants to continue investing in this market by, among other things, specializing in ROV-based products.
Goal:
The main goal of the project has been to develop a knowledge base, technology and demonstrators for ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) as a tool for use in net operations for cage-based fish farms, including washing, inspection and repair of nets. The project has had a two-part development run.
1. Development of sensor and control systems for net-real navigation, motion control and net damage detection
2. Development of ROV-based tools for net repair
