Hydrographic survey is very critical for a country like Australia, and we're not keeping up with the pace of demand of having key areas mapped, says Peter Baker, Director of Growth at Greenroom Robotics. The company offers a software solution for autonomous navigation that is suitable for new and existing USVs and workboats. The solution can increase utilization of these platforms by enabling them to undertake autonomous assignments.
Using small autonomous craft for hydrographic survey can improve accuracy and dramatically reduce fuel consumption, and Baker is seeing much wider acceptance and adoption of autonomous systems in Australia’s maritime domain. In May, a USV developed by EGS Australia successfully completed its first major deployment offshore Western Australia, powered by Greenroom Robotics’ GAMA autonomy system. Deployed 100 kilometers east of Esperance for a 42-day mission, the USV Fremantle 01 was tasked with conducting extended hydrographic survey operations in remote offshore waters. The vessel
