Designed for the University of Georgia, this image capture system was developed around a ZED Stereo camera linked to the Nvidia TX2 for edge processing. A custom mount for attachment to a BlueRobotics ROV enabled the research team to perform seagrass and habitat monitoring in shallow coastal environments. 

Zed cameras provide both stereo images and distance data based on pixel processing. Underwater they can help AUV form spatial maps with more information that operators can use to avoid obstacles. This enclosure is small but tough because it’s made from Acetal and Acrylic. This unit was mounted on a student ROV for the University of Illinois robotics team. 

This small housing serves as a junction box that contains a device to amplify and extend Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables from 100M to 200M, and multiples of these can be chained together for longer distances. The test plugs are to be replaced by the user with underwater connectors, such as Impulse MCBH-6-MP. The same housing can be used with different connectors and with different extenders for USB or FireWire. This housing design can be adapted to different diameters and lengths. The present one is based on 2-1/2-inch Schedule 40 PVC, and is rated to 500 feet of depth.

This housing was designed to contain a Roland R-88 recording device to record simultaneously from four attached hydrophones and a GoPro camera. It is constructed of clear cast acrylic with black acrylic handles.

This housing was designed to record hurricane damage to commercial properties for insurance reimbursement purposes. It is constructed of a black anodized aluminum body, aluminum tray, clear cast acrylic end cap, and PVC door and mount. It contains a Watec camera, recording devices, plus custom electronics.
