TECHNOLOGY



ELWAVE IS THE WORLD’S FIRST AND ONLY COMPANY TO OFFER PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS BASED ON INNOVATIVE “ELECTRIC SENSE” TECHNOLOGY.

“Electric sense” is the sensory mode used by fish living in tropical, murky and congested water habitats, where vision and sonar are ineffective. These types of fish generate an electric field (an “electric sensory bubble”) and analyse disturbances in this field caused by surroundings to deduce the presence of an object, its position, shape and nature (insulating or conducting).

Born out of 10 years’ research led by Nantes School of Engineering (“Institut Mines-Télécom”), ELWAVE solutions provide a unique combination of abilities in the field of detection technologies.


  • DETECTION AND CHARACTERISATION OF ALL TYPES OF OBJECTS

    360°, real-time, insulating and conducting (metal) materials

  • REACTIVE AND AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

    automatic avoidance of obstacles, wall tracking, docking, etc.

  • EFFECTIVE IN SEAWATER AND FRESHWATER, SEDIMENTS AND AIR
