Client: Australian Institute of Marine Science

Scope: Prelim Design → Operational

Cyborg worked with AIMS on the development of the REEFScan Deep AUV and the CoralAUV from August 2023 until June 2024. This included the following scope of work:

• Electronics redesign of CoralAUV for robustness

• Software architecture updates to incorporate new ROS modules and university code cleanup

• Attitude controller for Deep AUV

• Supporting other improvements identified during the product for future builds

• Collision avoidance development for Deep using 5 x sonar sensors

• 6DoF modelling and Software in the Loop for both platforms

• User interface design updates

The project culminated with 30+ autonomous reef survey missions in the Great Barrier Reef in 2024, having started with non-operational AUVs.
