DESCRIPTION
Aqua2 is an Industrial-Robot from Independent Robotics. It is built for Data Collection, Exploration, Security.
Aqua2 is Independent Robotics' portable autonomous underwater robot, sold in its current Mk3 version for high-value underwater operations. The company says it delivers fully autonomous mission capability by combining efficient propulsion, onboard AI and low-logistics portability: it executes repeatable autonomous mission plans with onboard decision support and streamlined operator control, and its high-efficiency propulsion is designed to maximise endurance for all-day operation. An onboard GPU processes imagery at the edge for recognition, mission adaptation, navigation assistance and obstacle avoidance in complex subsea environments. Plug-and-play sensor loadouts let operators tailor navigation and perception sensors to each mission, with integrated packages including the SNS100 Duo moving-baseline RTK navigation and heading unit, the Sonoptix Echo forward-looking sonar and the Waterlinked DVL A50 for velocity and altitude tracking, all with ROS2 integration. Its portable form supports preparation and launch from docks and vessels, keeping logistics light at the water's edge.
