Experimental platforms
The Foundation of Innovation
At EYENAV Robotics, we believe that world-class algorithms require world-class testing environments. To bridge the gap between theoretical research and real-world deployment, we have developed three proprietary experimental platforms. By strategically integrating off-the-shelf components with a hybrid software architecture—leveraging the best of the open-source ecosystem alongside our own proprietary control layers—we have built a fleet that is as robust as it is flexible.
A Modular and Open Architecture
Our platforms are defined by an "Open Structure" philosophy. Both the mechanical and software architectures are designed for maximum modularity, allowing for:
Rapid Integration: Effortlessly upgrading systems with new sensors (FLS sonar, high-resolution cameras, DVL).
Scalable Functionality: Quickly deploying new perception and control features for real-time testing.
Seamless Iteration: Serving as a "living laboratory" where our visual-servoing and station-keeping algorithms are refined under real-world conditions.
The Three Pillars of Our R&D
These three distinct platforms allow us to test across a variety of operational envelopes:
The Agile Explorer: A lightweight, highly maneuverable platform optimized for rapid prototyping of camera-based control in confined spaces.
The Heavy Duty Inspector: A stabilized, sensor-rich platform designed for testing sonar-based navigation and robust station keeping in actual maritime environments.
The Multi-Modal Research Platform: Our primary bench for full-stack integration, where we validate vision and sonar-based fusion for complex target-approach maneuvers.
By building our own experimental platforms from the ground up, EYENAV Robotics ensures that every line of code is perfectly synchronized with the hardware. These robots are not just tools; they are the engines of our innovation, ensuring that our subsea solutions are validated, reliable, robust, and mission-ready.
