Thank you guys! We look forward to continue our work with the team at Vortex NTNU!Finally! Vortex NTNU is ready for a new year with collaboration, team spirit and a lot of fun solving difficult and challenging underwater tasks. After the competition in Seattle most of our members have enjoyed some well-deserved weeks of holiday. Before the workload of this semester really kicks in, we want to share some of the histories of our members that was lucky enough to get summer internships at our sponsors.
First out is Ole and Øystein who has been working at Water Linked AS!
Since starting the position as software developers at Water Linked, we have been given a trove of challenging and rewarding problems for real world applications. At Water Linked we have the privilege of working with products which are going to go into production, which is a responsibility we appreciate as it makes our work seem concrete and meaningful. Throughout the summer we have worked on front- and backend development of a 3D visualization system. This required a fair bit of programming in a variety of languages, python, javascript and go.
The part time positions at Water Linked arose from the cooperation with their role as a valued sponsor of Vortex NTNU. Water Linked and Vortex have developed close ties through being provided one of their Underwater GPS Explorer Kits as well as opportunities for master students to write their thesis in a mutually beneficial collaboration with Water Linked.
We are at the ONS 2018 Exhibition in Stavanger, Norway this week.
Come visit us in Vågen (Stavanger) where we are located onboard the ship called MF «Rygerfjell».
We are demonstrating the new Water Linked Locator-S1 positioning a BlueROV2 from Blue Robotics.
The environment for acoustic positioning in Vågen is currently extremely challenging. We are onboard a large steel ship. And just across from us is a huge steel cruise ship. Acoustic reflections are everywhere. But our position is still very solid!
This is the first small production batch of the brand new wireless Locator-S1 which has been thoroughly tested and approved for shipping to customers!
Mass production of Locator-S1 will start immediately and we expect to fulfil all orders very soon.
Together with the release of the Locator-S1 we are also launching v2.1 of the Underwater GPS software package. Main changes are support for Locator-S1. If you are still on a v1.x software package, we strongly suggest you update to v2.1! It represents major improvements in all areas. The upgrade is easy and is found here:

We are working on our wireless datalink. Check out how we control a Blue Robotics BlueROV2 in this video!
Are you interested in this technology?

HD video wirelessly too?
Great jobs guys. We are waiting for underwater wlan. Remember that for a revolution we need products that are cheap, far away from oil industry or military one that are around 10k to enable communications between 2 points. Your solution currently is around 5k (for 2x master d1, 1x locator a1,1x receiver a1 ). For a wearable device or underwater iot we need a solution around 500€ for the beginning
Our friends at SIX VOICE are demonstrating Underwater GPS in a water tank at the Oceans 2018 exhibition in Kobe, Japan this week! Pay them a visit and see the system in action!
