Inspection without divers
Routine visual passes are handled by the vehicle, so diver exposure is reserved for work that genuinely requires a person in the water.
Inspection ROV
Aquanaut ROV
Lightweight inspection-class remotely operated vehicle with AI-enhanced HD video.
Overview
Built for the job, not the brochure
Aquanaut exists so that looking at a submerged structure stops being an event. It is a lightweight ROV built for inspection rather than intervention: dam walls, ship hulls, jetty piles and bridge piers, with AI-enhanced HD video streamed to the surface. Because it is light enough to be carried and launched by a small team, inspections can be repeated as often as the asset actually warrants.

Field Footage
Aquanaut on a dam inspection
Launch, descent down the dam face and the inspection itself — with depth, dive time and attitude overlaid live on the video the pilot is flying from.
Why It Works
What this platform is good at
AI-enhanced HD video
Image enhancement helps recover usable detail in the low-visibility, high-turbidity water typical of Indian reservoirs and harbours.
Portable enough to be routine
A small team can carry, launch and recover it, which is what makes frequent re-inspection practical rather than theoretical.
A defensible visual record
Every pass produces footage that can be archived and compared against the last one, turning inspection into a time series.
