Beam has announced Scout, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The Scout concept is expected to enter the market in 2025.The solution will combine AI, real-time 3D reconstructions, and precise navigation to deliver inspections and will enable 4K 3D reconstructions, such as year-on-year site comparisons. Scout is designed to be self-driving, performing inspections independently and reporting back at the end of its mission. Beam intends for Scout to be deployed directly by personnel from existing Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) during routine visits.
