Bluefin buys Hawkes

摘要

AUV firm Bluefin Robotics, USA, has acquired the assets of Hawkes Remotes, Inc. (HRI), USA, a spin-off from Hawkes Ocean Technologies (HOT) which develops advanced ROVs. Bluefin said it plans to leverage its AUV autonomy and subsea vehicle experience to add hybrid capabilities to the Hawkes ROVs and offer them as an extension of its current product line to the oil and gas industry. "We are thrilled to be working with Bluefin Robotics to take this technology to market," said Graham Hawkes, co-founder and chief technology officer of HRI and president and chief technology officer of HOT. "Thanks to many years of experience and an extensive track record of designing and building AUVs, they are a perfect fit to carry on the HRI vision of combining new and existing technologies to rethink the core designs of unmanned underwater vehicles."
