Kraken Robotics has acquired 3D at Depth. Together, we are delivering advanced technologies including LiDAR, synthetic aperture sonar, sub-bottom imaging, and subsea power solutions.
Kraken Robotics specializes in underwater data acquisition, providing unparalleled expertise and cutting-edge solutions to a diverse array of in water measurement challenges. From initial underwater survey planning to final data delivery, our comprehensive end-to-end approach and commitment to excellence has positioned us as industry leaders, empowering our clients worldwide with detailed and accurate three-dimensional point clouds which provide an insightful and holistic view of underwater environments. Common applications include:
Kraken Robotics revolutionizes the nuclear industry with our patented Nuclear LiDAR system, offering near real-time insights into as-found/as-left conditions of submerged and above-water assets. This technology surpasses traditional visual inspections and custom mechanical tools, providing non-contact, non-destructive, accurate as-built measurements and engineering-grade modeling. Our long-range laser scanning detects foreign materials and monitors asset conditions over time, aiding in maintenance planning and outage management. Common applications include:
Using the latest technology from Leica Geosystems, in combination with dimensional control software and CAD packages, we generate comprehensive survey reports which document the as-built status of the surveyed asset. By strategically placing LiDAR registration targets on subsea assets, we can take the accuracy and quality of terrestrial measurements subsea by translating and combining the terrestrial point clouds with our own in-water LiDAR measurements through a combined registration. This innovative approach allows us to derive inferred measurements and produce incredibly detailed digital twins of submerged assets and their surrounding marine environment.
