Underwater Robotics

A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is a tethered underwater robot. They are common in deepwater industries such as offshore hydrocarbon extraction. An ROV may sometimes be called a remotely operated underwater vehicle to distinguish it from remote control vehicles operating on land or in the air. ROVs are unoccupied, highly manoeuvrable and operated by a person aboard a vessel.

Featured Equipment
Unmanned Underwater Vehicles from ATLAS MARIDAN
AUVs belong to the often generalised category of UUVs – Unmanned Underwater Vehicles. This UUV categorisation also includes vehicles towed by surface craft and vehicles connected to a mother platform by means of an umbilical cable the so called ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles).
Other Equipment
SEABORNE NAVIGATION SYSTEM from KEARFOTT CORPORATION
The Seaborne Navigation System (SEANAV) hardware is fully qualified for at-sea operation and is the latest addition to Kearfott’s family of Monolithic Ring Laser Gyro (MRLG) based inertial quality pointing, stabilization, survey, and navigation devices for maritime applications.
ARCS vehicle from International Submarine Engineering Limited
The ARCS vehicle was developed by ISE Research Ltd. as a platform for autonomous vehicle research. Sponsors of this program include the Canadian Hydrographic Service, the Department of National Defence, and ISE Research. Development and testing of the ARCS vehicle was undertaken between 1983 and 1986.
Spectrum 45 Pan and Tilt Camera from Inuktun Services Ltd.
The Spectrum 45 pan and tilt camera is one of the smallest industrial cameras of its kind. At a diameter of only 1.75in / 45mm, this robust 420 TV line color camera is available in either aluminum or stainless steel, with a depth rating of 100ft / 30m.
DEPTHX (DEep Phreatic THermal eXplorer) from StoneAerospace
The patent-pending DEPTHX design is shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. It was designed for survivability and precision maneuvering capability in 3D space. The external geometry is an axi-symmetric ellipsoid of revolution, which eliminates snag points in unknown and cluttered environments. It also allows the vehicle to be “spun up” in autonomous mode with very low energy.
HUGIN 1000 Autonomous underwater vehicle from Kongsberg Maritime AS
The HUGIN 1000 Autonomous underwater vehicle - AUV is capable of performing high-speed surveys with excellent navigation and payload data quality down to a depth of 1000 meters.
