The Berkshire pontoon and Mokai photos show the laboratory’s research platforms. Other product photos are from the linked manufacturer or supplier pages, or the supplied DJI product sheet. The OptiTrack image illustrates a multi-camera capture setup. Where the inventory does not specify a configuration, photos illustrate the product family rather than the laboratory’s exact unit.
Background: original computer-generated animation of an autonomous surface vessel on the ocean. Concept illustration, not footage of laboratory equipment.
