Beluga

The extracted facts contain information about at least three distinct 'Beluga' systems: (1) the Planys Technologies ROV Beluga, an underwater remotely operated vehicle for industrial and defence inspection; (2) academic/research papers referencing 'Beluga' algorithms or unrelated robotic platforms; and (3) the Beluga Liner, a fictional passenger ship from the video game Elite Dangerous. The Planys ROV Beluga is the most coherent real-world robotics system present. It is a pilot-controlled, tethered ROV operated via joystick from the surface, with Planys also developing AUVs as a separate product line. The company (Planys Technologies, founded 2015, IIT Madras) has raised ~USD 12M, claims 25,000+ operational hours across 150 clients, and holds 21 granted patents.
