And poof, that's Day 2 of SPE Offshore Europe gone. Great day and thanks to everyone who stopped by. Thank you as well to Expro for inviting us to their soiree. Good fun and really good refreshments. The most frequently asked question we get--other than the generic: what do you do?--is what do I do with the information gathered from the drone flights? Look, the possibilities are limitless but with all the different types of data we can gather from visual evidence to scanning sensors on assets to sniffing for gases, ultimately we pull that into a series of dashboards that then allow you to make near real-time decisions. Our dashboards enable you to avoid putting people in harm's way, save you downtime and reduce your carbon footprint. No telling what's in store today, so stop by 2M40 and let's all find out together.

⏱️ Still some time to cast your vote for our Raven INS for the Dynamic Positioning Award 👇🏻 Want to know more on what you are voting for? Check out the brilliant video and introduction by my good colleague Ole G. Rørhus #NavigatingTheFutureToday

Check out the final cut from the Oceanology International where we premiered EXRAY - our wireless underwater inspection robot. Before anyone says anything about how it cannot work in high currents and low visibility environments - yes, this is not an answer to all your underwater inspection needs, but it does an excellent job in confined cluttered flooded environments with reasonable visibility - of which there are many around the world to take advantage of this technology already today. The wireless flyout works in conjuncture with a tethered relay that can hover in a safe place while the flyout runs around poles, pipes, cables and other "furniture" in water. Our proprietary wireless high-speed communication system has a range that extends 3x of the visible distance underwater. So if your visibility is 1m, the flyout can operate within 3 meters from the relay. Get in touch with us ([email protected]) to learn more about the system. So what about high currents and murky waters? Work with us already now and don't give up your hopes... 😉 #robotics #inspections #swissmade #disruptiveinnovation #underwatertechnology #underwaterinspection SPRINT Robotics Global Underwater Hub Net Zero Technology Centre

GYRO ✈️ as you know gyro is a sensor for ATTITUDE INDICATOR HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR AFCS SYSTEM AUTO PILOT SYSTEM NAVIGATION COMPONENTS...... IT WORKS ACCORDING TOW FEATURE SUCH AS RIGIDITY AND PRECESSION. Below rate gyro works according to PRECESSION when a yawning motion is applied to gyro, it'll essentially translate to a horizontal motion to a gimbal to turn the indicator. this is traditional turn and slip indicator, it is critical when pilot want to make standard turn without any slip and skip .✈️✈️✈️

Next up was the Position Hold mode! However, for this, I first had to write a driver for the magnetometer and convert its raw values into an angle-compensated orientation value. Followed by calibration program I got a fully functional compass that I could use to correct the Z value of the gyroscope. A well-calibrated compass is crucial ☝ Then it became more challenging. This was my biggest challenge so far. Initially, I had to evaluate the GNSS module to obtain the coordinates, speed, direction, and satellite information. Several conversions were necessary so that I could combine the GNSS coordinates with the ACC values. I was fortunate to have a good Altitude Hold controller already because it gave me some valuable experience. Nonetheless, this was considerably more difficult. Even the PID and filter tuning was significantly different and required a lot of testing. It was far from finished, but still, I was very proud of my first result, with the drone autonomously holding its position. What a great feeling!😁

URN measurements report from the SATURN project available! I'm glad to see that the outcomes of more than 2.5 years of work are finally published and ready for the #URN community. ✅ What you can find in this report: • Comparison of a particular vessel URN #signatures obtained following different methods (international standards and class societies' methods) • Outcomes from testing the draft of the #ISO 17208-3 (the first standard to measure vessel URN in shallow water) • Description of URN #tests (two test campaigns performed):    • Testing equipment and details    • Equipment deployments    • Lessons learned and recommendations • Details of the processing required to get vessel signatures under different methods and #metrics (RNL, SL, etc) • Description of #onboard #vibrations performed during URN #measurements ...and many others! 💻 Where to find the report: 🔗https://lnkd.in/dKazvtDy 👏 Thank you, Christ de Jong, Michael Ainslie and Luis Antonio Piqueras, for your outstanding support during the journey and also to Eric BAUDIN and Stephen Robinson for their role as external report reviewers.

Introducing the flexible Distance to Asset feature for SubSLAM X2 📏 ROVs are equipped with cutting-edge sensors providing real-time positional data. Still, the challenge of assessing close-range distances persists, potentially leading to collisions and compromised data quality. With the new Distance to Asset feature, industry professionals' requests have been answered. SubSLAM X2 now incorporates an unobtrusive viewfinder in its inspection view, displaying the precise range between the ROV and the subject 🔍 Set your preferred maximum collection distance, effortlessly filtering out irrelevant data beyond your defined range. Watch the video below to see Distance to Asset in action, and hear what experienced ROV pilots have to say ⬇ #Vaarst #SubSLAMX2 #MarineRobotics #Update #SubSea #OceanExploration

Watch the video to see how SKYRON performed UT and visual inspections on a container ship in Vancouver, Canada. It focused on checking the back wall of the cargo hold, the guides for the columns, and the ship's side facing the water. This inspection happened while the ship was parked at the port to unload cargo, highlighting the importance of saving time. SKYRON is a highly advanced flying robot designed for various inspections, reducing risks for humans and cutting down on inspection time and costs.
