Teledyne Marine :: Autonomous & Remotely Operated Underwater Robotic Systems

Teledyne Marine is a leading global provider of marine technology solutions and a division of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated. The company designs and manufactures advanced instruments, vehicles, interconnect systems, imaging, and seismic equipment used to explore, monitor, and operate in the world’s oceans. With a strong heritage in oceanographic research, offshore energy, defense, and environmental monitoring, Teledyne Marine integrates multiple specialized brands (including Teledyne RDI, Teledyne Webb Research, Teledyne Gavia, and others) to deliver complete subsea solutions. The company emphasizes innovation, reliability, and high-performance systems capable of operating in extreme deep-sea and harsh marine environments.

Teledyne Marine is particularly recognized for its autonomous and remotely operated underwater robotic systems, which serve as critical tools for scientific research, offshore infrastructure inspection, defense operations, and environmental monitoring.

Key robot-based products include:

• Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs): Including the Gavia and HUGIN families of AUVs. These are modular, battery-powered vehicles capable of long-duration missions for high-resolution seabed mapping, pipeline inspection, environmental surveys, and mine countermeasures. They feature advanced navigation, payload flexibility, and real-time data processing.
• Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs): Work-class and observation-class ROVs designed for subsea intervention, maintenance, and inspection tasks. These systems provide real-time video, manipulator arms, and sensor integration for complex underwater operations.
• Gliders and Profiling Systems: Long-endurance autonomous platforms (such as the Slocum Glider) that collect oceanographic data over weeks or months with minimal human intervention.
• Supporting Technologies: High-performance acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), multibeam sonars, sub-bottom profilers, and interconnect systems that enhance the capabilities of their robotic platforms.

Teledyne Marine continues to push boundaries in resident underwater robotics, hybrid AUV/ROV systems, and AI-enhanced autonomy to support the growing demands of the blue economy, offshore wind, and deep-sea exploration.
