REVOLUTION UV with the Voyis

Discovery camera. increased autonomy. This move presents Deep Trekker with opportunities to expand into new sectors, explained Norman- deau, such as Arctic surveillance and deep-sea infrastructure inspection. She added, “Strengthening AI integration and re- mote operation features will be critical for staying ahead in a market that prioritizes ef? ciency, safety and sustainability.”

There also remains so much to learn about the world’s oceans, Mills pointed out. Despite more than 70% of the planet being covered in water, only about a quarter has been mapped. “We are discovering new life forms almost every week, and still don’t understand how ocean currents affect the temperature and weather at the surface,” he said. “I see this as a key opportunity to scale data gathering through the widespread use of uncrewed and autonomous technologies.”

In the face of an evolving industry, UVs provide a unique and growing opportunity to explore the hard-to-reach, survey vital infrastructure and collect crucial data. Cellula Robotics and Deep Trekker are two Canadian companies poised to meet global needs, bringing new advancements and collabo- rations to the forefront.
