2G Robotics
Innovation continues to transform the state of subsea investigation, inspiring the development of new technologies for increased efficiency of oceanographic operations. Underwater laser scanning is a mature technology that is increasingly being used for underwater exploration. This innovative technology has improved the accuracy, precision, and cost efficiency of subsea survey, inspection, and research operations. The sub-centimetric resolution of the 3D models generated by the systems enables high-precision measurements to be obtained for the comprehensive assessment of subsea environments. These 3D models function as detailed dimensional records and provide an accurate baseline from which to analyze changes in an environment over time. The high sample rate of the systems also improves cost efficiency since it allows for faster vehicle traversal, which increases inspection speeds and reduces operational time. Through an examination of the technical innovation behind the ULS-500 PRO as well as the results from field trials, this presentation will address how underwater laser scanning can improve the ways in which subsea research is conducted. Building on the success of the ULS-500 and ULS-500 Pro for survey from large vehicles, 2G Robotics developed the ULS-500 Micro for integration with smaller AUVs and ROVs.

About
The Scripps Technical Forum (STF) is a grassroots effort to make
technical expertise and resources more widely available within the
UCSD/Scripps community; to enhance communications between technical
staff and departments; explore extended opportunities for
interdepartmental collaboration, technology transfer, and industry
interactions; to explore innovative solutions to emerging
challenges; to monitor and disseminate trends and new technologies;
and, aid in personnel retention and enhance job satisfaction,
including continuing education, and opportunities for job growth.
The group is open to anyone within SIO and
UCSD interested in applied technology. We host a semi-monthly midday
meeting with free food and an interesting program of presentations
given by members of the community and industry.

Members of the Technical Forum are encouraged to use the mailing
list techical@siomail.ucsd.edu
to get answers from the community on questions about
instrumentation, technical setups, electronics, mechanicals,
moorings, computers, etc.
