ABOUT ROV
INFLUX is co-developing ROVs with Nagasaki University to promote
offshore wind power O&M and seaweed bed restoration projects.
MARINE MONITORING USING ROV AND DRONE
INFLUX utilizes ROVs and drones for its integrated O&M services including wind turbines, subsea
cables, and oceanographic surveys.
Our ROV can dive up to 304m, which enables us to see the view of the seabed.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH WITH NAGASAKI UNIVERSITY
In collaboration with the Nagasaki University Organization
for Marine Science and Technology,
and Nagasaki University Graduate School of Engineering,
INFLUX is developing an “Integrated underwater robot”
that combines an underwater camera and robotic systems.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
To visualize the progress of seaweed bed restoration, we are planning to develop an underwater
camera, image analysis technologies and ROV that is durable for open-sea operations in three
years. As a part of the development process, we will conduct field tests to verify its operability
and safety.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Most commercial-grade ROVs used today are large-size machines and have difficulties with flexible
operations. Hence we set the following three objectives to overcome these challenges.
