![]() ![]() Navigation aid for the underwater vehicle is provided by KONGSBERG Sunstone inertial navigation system (INS), which uses HISAS micro navigation, terrain-referenced navigation and single transponder navigation and is useful for unsupervised operations. ![]() Together, the sensors have the potential to map an area of up to 1,100km² on a single mission. The combined bathymetry swath from both the EM2040 and HISAS 1032 can generate 20cm resolution across a 750m wide swath when travelling at 3.5k and 40m altitude. The EM2040 dual receiver offers a swath coverage sector of up to 170° with a single receiver, as well as refined software processing algorithms for improved data quality. The HISAS1032 dual receiver on board the vehicle can generate a 1,000m swath at 2.5k with a typical resolution of 5cm×5cm for synthetic aperture sonar imagery. The AUV can carry different sensors including HISAS1032 dual receiver synthetic aperture sonar and EM2040 dual receiver multi-beam echo sounder for accurate seabed mapping and inspection. The AUV’s design allows for data integration with other platforms based on customer requirements. Secure communication between the AUV and the remote control centre is provided through the Kognifai infrastructure. Collected data is safely transferred to the remote operating centre through the Cloud. ![]() The AUV has the ability to collect large amounts of data, which can be stored on redundant media with the possibility to encrypt the data while at rest. The underwater vehicle can control mission execution and handle unexpected events and failure modes while switching between redundant modes of operation. The tail section of the vehicle consists of contra-rotating dual propellers and fins which wrap over the ends of the blades to offer protection.Įquipped with autonomous decision-making capability, the AUV can operate for several days without human intervention by using underwater and surface awareness sensors. The HUGIN Endurance AUV measures 10m long and can be transported in a standard shipping container. Hugin has established herself as a prominent artist in the Norwegian art scene.Design and features of the HUGIN Endurance AUV Since her graduation, Hugin has exhibited extensively in both Norway and abroad, participating in group shows and festivals, as well as solo exhibitions. With a background in contemporary dance, she eventually moved onto contemporary art, and graduated with a MA in Fine Arts from Bergen Academy of Art and Design, in 2011. Kaia Hugin (b.1975) is a Norwegian video artist who lives and works in Kolbotn, Norway. Hugin slowly drills herself deeper and deeper into the ground and can be viewed as an urge for the perfect all encompassing space, or our desire to make a mark. This pattern is an exploration of borders both physically, but also mentally. In Motholic Mobble part 3 we observe an uncompromising bodily presence through the artist´s monotonous and repetitive movement. Visualy this is explored through bodily reflex, compulsive and even irrational pattern of movement. Patience, time and labor are used in order to create a “real film trick”. Thematically key elements are orbiting movement, space, humor and horror. It might be seen as an intervention or interference, or maybe as a longing to connect to nature. Hugin focuses on the ability of gravity, power of dreams as well as on our search for purpose and connection to the surrounding. The Mobble is an episodic tale that dwells with fundamental elements in nature as well as in the existential human experience. The title is constructed in relation to the works, and can be interpreted as “movement between the space we do not see and the space we never reach. The video piece is part of the performance based Motholic Mobble series. Performance, sound mix and editing: Kaia Hugin ![]()
