About Aqua Robotics
HALO remains installed on an aquaculture cage and brushes both the inside and outside of the net continuously. Regular low-force cleaning prevents fouling from building up, preserving water exchange through the cage without waiting for periodic high-pressure washing.
Aqua Robotics supplies HALO as a complete service, including the robot hardware, installation, remote operation and continuous monitoring. Farm staff retain local control through a phone or computer, while the robot works around the existing cage infrastructure without obstructing normal fish-farm operations.
