ARV brings a range of Thai robotics and AI technologies to Singapore, emphasizing its readiness to drive ASEAN's blue economy at Geo Connect Asia 2026.
Mr. Thasapich Thawornsuk, Head of Commercial at AI and Robotics Ventures Company Limited (ARV), stated that they are proud to announce their success in introducing Thai robotics and AI innovations to the global market at Geo Connect Asia 2026 in Singapore, under the theme Innovation, Autonomy & TECHNOLOGIES for the Ocean & Marine science economies.
To respond to the growth of the blue economy in ASEAN, ARV showcased technology across four main zones at the event, starting with Ocean Connect Asia (OCA), where Rovula (Thailand) Company Limited introduced Xplorer, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) revolutionizing petroleum pipeline inspection by reducing time while enhancing efficiency and safety in operations.
Next, in the Drone and Uncrewed zone, Skyller Solutions Company Limited exhibited smart drone solutions via the SKYLLER Platform, improving aerial infrastructure inspections using AI technology.
In the Digital Construction zone, ARV presented the Deepzoom platform, leveraging advanced AI Computer Vision technology with Multi-Target Multi-Camera Tracking (MTMC) for precise operational data analysis, ideal for factory management and Smart City applications.
Finally, at Geo Connect Asia 2026, ARV demonstrated its capability to integrate intelligent solutions across industry sectors to create tools that enable businesses to make precise and sustainable decisions, reinforcing Thai technology's readiness to lead regional innovation.
The event was honored by the presence of Mr. Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary at Singapore's Ministry of Social and Family Development and Ministry of Justice, representing the Singapore government to support innovation and sustainable technology advancement in ASEAN.
This reflects Singapore's commitment to becoming a global innovation and knowledge hub, especially by promoting digital and robotic technologies critical for sustainable management of marine resources and infrastructure.
Mr. Thasapich added that a key challenge in using autonomous robotics and AI for integrated inspections from underwater to aerial environments is collecting and linking data from diverse sources amid varying conditions.
Therefore, ARV introduced an Autonomous Inspection Ecosystem capable of seamless operation from deep underwater to the sky. This system improves data transmission to the cloud, speeds up on-site inspections, and crucially reduces risks to personnel working in hazardous areas.
At the exhibition, ARV and its group companies showcased the Autonomous Inspection Ecosystem, highlighting the coordinated operation of three main products and technologies:
● Xplorer (developed by Rovula): An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) designed for inspection and monitoring of underwater infrastructure.
Ms. Mayuree Daengprasitporn, Sales Executive at Rovula (Thailand) Company Limited, shared her vision for the future of underwater pipeline inspection with advanced technology, noting that subsea petroleum pipelines are vital energy infrastructure in ASEAN, but traditional inspection methods are costly and pose risks to operators.
Rovula’s autonomous underwater vehicle, Xplorer, addresses these limitations by operating without reliance on large DP2 support vessels while enhancing data accuracy and safety standards effectively.
● Smart Aerial Inspection & Emission Monitoring (developed by Skyller Solutions): A comprehensive smart drone solution integrated with the SKYLLER Platform, supporting high-resolution imaging and thermal scanning to detect anomalies like cracks or corrosion in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas, enabling immediate asset condition assessment.
This solution allows operators to evaluate assets without halting production, suitable for energy and infrastructure industries. It also includes air pollution monitoring using special sensors on drones or satellite data for accurate emission detection.
Mr. Khunachart Vitoorusunthorn, Technology Solution Team Lead at Skyller Solutions, shared perspectives on enhancing industrial asset inspections with drones and AI, explaining that traditionally, inspecting large industrial assets demanded significant time and resources.
Today, the SKYLLER Platform transforms this process by integrating drone data with AI technology for analysis and evaluation, making infrastructure inspections faster, more accurate, and scalable across numerous assets efficiently.
● Deepzoom (developed by ARV): A Vision AI platform that converts video data from various sources into real-time alerts and operational insights, enhancing safety, operational efficiency, and production quality without changing existing infrastructure. This platform analyzes high-resolution imagery with AI to improve decision-making speed and accuracy based on survey data.
Ms. Napatsai Timsri, Business Development and Product Solution at ARV, described the Vision AI technology that transforms image data into actionable insights, noting that many organizations currently use cameras mainly for recording, playback, and basic alerts.
Deepzoom upgrades existing video systems by employing AI Computer Vision and Multi-Target Multi-Camera Tracking (MTMC), capabilities beyond standard AI cameras, enabling instant alerts for specified events and smart search to track individuals or vehicles across multiple cameras within seconds.
Importantly, Deepzoom integrates seamlessly with CCTV in factories, drone cameras, and robotic cameras, and can be customized for needs ranging from security and quality control to operational efficiency in industries and Smart Cities, enabling faster, more precise decision-making.
ARV’s participation at the global platform Ocean Connect Asia 2026 not only showcases Thai innovation progress but also signals readiness to genuinely drive the blue economy in the region.
Advancing the blue economy in ASEAN requires technologies capable of performing effectively in challenging environments. ARV and its group companies, including Rovula and Skyller Solutions, have demonstrated that Thai AI and robotics innovations match international standards. The group’s Autonomous Inspection Ecosystem
covers deep-sea exploration vehicles like Xplorer, aerial inspection drones, and advanced data processing via Deepzoom. These not only enhance business efficiency and reduce costs but also play a crucial role in lowering risks and promoting long-term sustainability of marine infrastructure in the region.
