[SEMCO] Hydroid speaks about marine robotics at Cape Cod Tech Council First Friday

[Bert Jackson]

Hydroid’s Steve Brodet will be our presenter for August’s First Friday Breakfast Speaker Series.

We are at the epicenter of this exciting movement, a big part of regional Blue Economy. Our August First Friday takes the plunge into the marine robotics industry.

Ocean exploration has traditionally been dominated by surface ship technology. As a field-proven technology leader in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), Hydroid’s REMUS line of vehicles are changing the game.

Hydroid AUVs can dive to depths of 6,000 meters, explore shallow waters and hover in hazardous areas where navigation is difficult. These vehicles reduce the high cost of ocean exploration and sampling, while increasing the availability of scientific marine data.

Hydroid AUVs have been involved with undersea mine countermeasures that have helped save lives by eliminating human divers from mine fields and have helped solve plane and ship disaster mysteries, including locating Air France Flight 447 wreckage and generating 3D mapping of the Titanic. Our vehicles offer scientists a new view on pressing global issues including climate change, the world’s declining fish population and environmental disasters.

Steve Brodet is an Applications Engineer with Hydroid, Inc. In this role, Steve works to develop and transition emerging payload and navigation technologies into the fleet of Hydroid’s REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. Prior to working with Hydroid, Steve was with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) office of Coast Survey where he tested and transitioned emerging technologies, including REMUS AUV’s,  to NOAA’s Hydrographic Survey fleet.
