    Surveys, 3D documentation and underwater interventions too. With divers and the Robík robot.

    01

    Survey and documentation

    Robotic inspections, photography and video including 360° footage. Photogrammetry and spatial models.

    02

    Maintenance and repairs

    Repairs, inspections and maintenance of water structures and fire tanks. Cleaning of ponds, swimming pools and biotopes.

    03

    Search and recovery

    Phones, keys, jewellery, wallets, FPV drones and film equipment. Also fish harvesting work for golf centres in the Prague area.

    01 / Below the surface

    Eyes where
    you cannot see.

    Inspect flooded spaces, document the condition of the structure or find a lost item. Every dive begins with a specific brief and the selection of suitable equipment.

    We work with suitable equipment and training. The divers are complemented by a remotely operated robot: it brings photographs, video and a 360° view from places below the surface.

    Each shot.
    Part of the whole.

    The individual photographs overlap. As you scroll the page, they unfold into a strip that reveals the connections between details of the flooded space.

    Robík records the environment. Scroll the page and watch a spatial model emerge from the underwater footage.

    Camera recording
    Photogrammetric survey / processing demonstration

    Cameras capture the space from different angles. Overlapping shots are the basis for reconstruction.

    From a real project

    More than a kilometre
    of corridors in one model.

    A series of dives produced dozens of terabytes of footage. By processing it, we reconstructed more than a kilometre of flooded corridors. See how the camera footage and the finished model relate to each other.

    Robík gets to where we need to see more. We turn the footage from its cameras into spatial documentation.

    Power and data transmission are both provided by a cable from the surface. A front 360° camera, a navigation camera and a laser scale complement the recording setup.

    In cooperation with UWPS

    01

    9 cameras · 5.7K

    Spatial recording for photogrammetry and subsequent 3D modelling. The front 360° camera complements the overall view.

    02

    6 LED lamps + 2 lights

    Six powerful lamps illuminate the surroundings. Two front navigation lights help guide the robot.

    03

    4 motors · laser scale

    The motors provide vertical and horizontal movement. The laser beam is used to calibrate measurements.

    04

    Connection up to 750 m

    The guidance camera transmits the image to the control panel. The cable on the winch supplies power and transmits video.

    We also train working divers with the mobile hyperbaric chamber SOS Hyperlite 1. Watch a short clip from our training and equipment preparation.

    Equipment for working diving, including hyperbaric chambers, is also available in our e-shop.
