Deep Trekker participated as a key partner at Unique Group’s industry-leading conference in Abu Dhabi, where Serena Brown, Global Business Development Manager, and Chad Plesa-Naden, Head of Engineering represented our team. The event brought together leading experts in maritime technology, hydrography, offshore construction, and subsea innovation. This two-day conference featured in-depth discussions, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities, highlighting the latest advancements in the field.
Unique Group’s conference serves as a platform for industry leaders to share knowledge, showcase emerging technologies, and foster collaboration. Attendees gain insight into innovative solutions for subsea exploration, offshore operations, and automation.
Key topics included:
As a partner, Deep Trekker demonstrated the capabilities of the REVOLUTION and PHOTON ROVs, highlighting their effectiveness in precision-driven underwater operations. The REVOLUTION ROV is designed for stability in challenging subsea environments, integrating Deep Trekker’s proprietary ROV GPS for real-time positioning and advanced stabilization control. Meanwhile, the PHOTON, a lightweight and highly portable ROV, offers a compact solution for quick inspections and confined-space operations without compromising on imaging quality or maneuverability.
Engineered for versatility, the REVOLUTION ROV supports a broad range of subsea applications, including search and recovery, commercial diving, structural inspection, environmental monitoring, and much more. Its modular design allows for seamless integration of specialized tools such as sonar, manipulators, and imaging payloads, enhancing adaptability for diverse mission requirements. The vehicle's unique 260-degree rotating head provides extended visibility and maneuverability, allowing operators to capture critical data from multiple angles without repositioning the entire unit.
The PHOTON complements these capabilities with its ultra-portable build, making it ideal for rapid response and close-quarters inspections. Despite its compact size, it delivers high-quality imaging and reliable navigation, ensuring operators can efficiently assess underwater structures and environments.
With durable and portable designs, both ROVs enable easy deployment in confined or remote locations without requiring extensive surface support. The system's intuitive controls and real-time data transmission allow for accurate decision-making, reducing operational downtime and increasing safety.
Serena Brown, Global Business Development Manager at Deep Trekker, was a speaker at the event, providing expert insights into the role of robotics in subsea operations. Serena also conducted a live demonstration of the REVOLUTION and PHOTON ROVs, showcasing their advanced maneuverability and operational effectiveness in real-world conditions.
