ALFREDD (Autonomous LionFish Realtime Edge Detection and Depopulation) is a bespoke artificial intelligence system purpose-trained to detect, track, and neutralize invasive lionfish with unmatched accuracy. Seamlessly integrated with Horizon ROS thruster control, ALFREDD processes real-time data from the IUV’s advanced camera array and onboard sensors to identify target lionfish in complex reef environments.
Once a lionfish is confirmed, ALFREDD orchestrates precise navigation and aligns the Reef Sweeper’s spearing mechanism. By seamlessely blending autonomous maneuvering with human-in-the-loop control, ALFREDD empowers the pilot to make the final call to deploy the spear, ensuring a swift and humane elemination. Thsi synergy transforms the Reef Sweeper into a powerful, ethical guardian of marine eccosystems, restoring balance to fragile reefs.
