For aquaculture and science
Our simple yet effective technology and cost-effective design ensure low production costs, making our products accessible. The Rope Rover utilizes the rope as its track, unaffected by tidal currents and sea conditions. Featuring internal propulsion, it eliminates the risk of propellers that could harm marine life or operators.
Easily set up by one operator from the boat
Innovation crafted in Ireland
Customisable with the sensors of your choice
Propeller-free ensuring safety for marine life
Rope Rover is an advanced AUV created for long-term monitoring in marine research and aquaculture. It features an easy setup, high customisability, straightforward operation, and cost-efficient performance.
Mapping bathymetry and important near-shore habitats is impossible from the air and difficult to achieve with free-floating autonomous vehicles due to shallow and high-flow conditions. RopeRover can traverse across the surf zone using a movable rope.
Mussel and kelp lines require visual growth and parasite monitoring, typically achieved occasionally by manually pulling them up onto a vessel. RopeRover monitors autonomously and continuously and is reducing operator risk.
Farmed fish health can be monitored from RopeRover with no risk of injury (no propeller) and low noise.
