Rovco

Description

Rovco was founded to lead the way in bringing AUV and ROV 3D computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies subsea. The world is becoming ever more autonomous, and these technologies are poised to take over in the oil, gas and renewables industries. Their application will lower the cost of operations and maintenance for underwater asset owners and Rovco is positioned to ride the crest of this growth wave in an industry predicted to be worth over $4 billion per year in 2020.

Iain, is a computer vision and artificial intelligence specialist with a background in designing and running these projects for the UK & European Space Agencies, including being responsible for the vision systems on the Mars Rover. Joe is a category A Hydrographic Surveyor with an MSc in Hydrography and 3D modelling distinction.
