Dr Avinash Singh of UTS Australian Artificial Intelligence Institute (AAII) has teamed up with PhD student Sergio Martins to found a UTS Startup 'SAPIIENT Advanced Technologies'. Together, they have won 'Start Up Solution of the Year' at the 2022 iAwards for their proposed product: an artificial intelligence enabled ship hull inspection enterprise solution.
The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AI-AUV)'s AI model can perform routine ship hull inspections remotely and provide real-time data analysis. The captured data has a vast range of uses, from autonomous navigation to scan a ship's critical infrastructure, to generating inspection reports.
