Porto, Portugal — February 15, 2018 — Abyssal announced today it has joined the NVIDIA Inception Program, which is designed to nurture startups revolutionizing industries with advancements in AI and data sciences.
Abyssal S.A develops integrated Subsea Operating Solutions for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in the Oil & Gas, Marine Renewables and Underwater Mining industries. Abyssal platform and products rely on both 3D visualization for real-time monitoring and accurate navigation and positioning data, increasing overall visibility and spatial awareness of the entire subsea environment.
Abyssal’s purpose is to continuously develop accurate and intuitive solutions focused on increasing Vision in Depth to enable its customers to access the most remote and inaccessible subsea locations.
Abyssal has been working closely with some of the major companies within the Oil & Gas supply chain which allowed the company to develop its products by responding to the industry’s real needs. By entering the NVIDIA Inception program, Abyssal expects to leverage NVIDIA´s expertise, massive network of deep learning experts and thought leaders, state-of-the-art GPU technology and benefit from the collaborations with NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute in order to bring Artificial Intelligence to the subsea operations.
“This collaboration is completely aligned with our research and development plan which has a strong focus on automation. We will leverage this privileged relationship by exploring the full potential of NVIDIA’s GPUs to deliver our customers with the most innovative products that will bring them valuable benefits in terms of efficiency and safety”, says Manuel Parente CTO of Abyssal.
“We are excited to be a part of the NVIDIA’s Inception program. Being able to have access to NVIDIA’s latest GPU accelerators as well as its global AI and deep learning ecosystem is for us an additional motivation to be in the forefront of technology for subsea operations”, says Rafael Simão CEO of Abyssal.
NVIDIA’s Inception program is a virtual accelerator program that helps startups during critical stages of product development, prototyping and deployment. Every Inception member gets a custom set of ongoing benefits, from hardware grants and marketing support to training with deep learning experts.
Abyssal S.A. develops integrated Subsea Operating Solutions for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in the Oil & Gas, Marine Renewables and Underwater Mining industries.
The company’s unique platform works as a Digital Collaboration tool enhanced with an ecosystem of products that provide significant benefits in every phase of the project lifecycle – from design, construction, operation and decommissioning.
A very important part of the company’s product ecosystem is the Abyssal OS Offshore: an advanced real-time 3D visualization and operation management system to support pilots and supervisors to perform simultaneous operations in complex subsea environments, increasing safety and efficiency.

Abyssal OS Offshore (AOS) technology architecture is based on UNREAL engine coupled with a survey-grade geographical information (GIS) system that allows the user to place objects in the 3D environment with submillimeter accuracy. Then, by gathering and processing the real-time data from the ROV (video, telemetry, positioning, other sensors), the AOS is able to retrieve contextualized and enriched real-time navigation information to operators which enhances situational awareness.
Augmented and virtual reality environments are beneficial for offshore operations or any remote environment, not only for Oil & Gas industry but also to a wide range of industries from Seabed Mining to Marine Renewables, Marine Biotechnology, Environment and Scientific exploration.
Safety is enhanced as the entire subsea environment can come to life and the job can be performed with the support of a virtual environment. Additionally, the augmented visuals provided in the operator display will provide a clear picture of the situation to allow the mission to continue.
“As an example, we can easily create a virtual representation of an oilfield and feed it with real world data and information. This allows every stakeholder in every phase of the life of the field (Design, Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, Operation and Decommissioning) to experience a very realistic view of what is happening in real time. Moreover, it allows them to playback what happened and to predict what will happen. And all of this is possible because we are using a visual language, and everyone understands it.”
Rafael Simão, Abyssal CEO
Also, by replicating in real-time into a single location the operations from multiple sites in the World, with Abyssal Command Center (ACC) it is now possible to safely remote piloting an ROV which is a huge step in the Oil & Gas industry aspirations on increasing efficiency and safety of offshore subsea operations.
UNREAL engine was the key to allow Abyssal to meet not only the requirements from its customers but also its technology and product roadmap. It allowed the company to develop a very robust and flexible platform which now can be easily adapted to whatever are the Oil & Gas industry needs.
“And this flexibility is not just to address the Oil & Gas industry current challenges. In fact, it is not a question of reaching a Vision in Depth but reaching a vision Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS). The world is moving very fast and the need to perform remote tasks is increasing every day… and the next step is going to be autonomous tasks. It’s like we are in a path where any BVLOS task will rapidly move into a machine automated task.”
