Autonomous Systems Test Arena
DTU Aqua has access to an arena for developing and testing surface and underwater robots.The Autonomous Systems Test Arena (ASTA) offers a world-class infrastructure for testing innovations and develop new knowledge for autonomous systems.
ASTA is the world largest indoor infrastructure (40 x 24 x 14 m) for testing mobile robot technology on land, in air, and under water and consists of a pool for underwater technologies, a 3D motion capture and tracking system and a range of robotic systems for ground, aerial and underwater operations.
Autonomous Systems Test Arena is a facility in the DTU Centre for Collaborative Autonomous Systems and is located at DTU Lyngby Campus.
Fleet of remotely operated vehicles
DTU Aqua maintains and operates a small fleet of different inspection classes remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). These platforms are used in support of teaching and research activities and complement modern acoustic, optical and chemical sensors enabling automation in coastal and open ocean monitoring operations.
