Great Lakes Documentary Explores Beneath With Boxfish Luna
Launch of “All Too Clear” – A documentary that gets beneath the surface of the Great Lakes TOBERMORY (December 6th, 2022) — Over the past 20 years, quadrillions of invasive…

This year is proving to be a busy one for the team at Boxfish Research. In addition to developing innovative robotics and shipping new remotely operated vehicles, the team consistently delivers new product features and software updates to support our customers.
We have updated the joystick input controller to allow low latency input to the ROV controls. This enhancement means the ROV reacts faster to user input, thus improving the piloting experience for ROV operators.
To enable ROV pilots to more effectively monitor the performance of the entire ROV system, we have added an Input Voltage widget to the telemetry screen. This widget, positioned in the second column above RX Signal, allows ROV operators to monitor the power supply to the Control Station to ensure the console is powered reliably.
Last year, we launched a custom application for customers using our USBL accessory that shows a visual depiction of the position of the ROV relative to the position of the boat (or fixed beacon). We have now added GPS support to this app enabling pilots to obtain the Latitude and Longitude of the ROV using the USBL system in conjunction with the GPS module. This new functionality allows users to locate the ROV globally and geotag places of interest.
Data from the USBL app is displayed in the lower right section of the Control Station telemetry screen. GPS status and data (Latitude, Longitude, Date, Time) now appears below the USBL data fields (Status, Distance, Slant Range, Direction).
