Underwater search with ROV
Professional underwater searches with an underwater robot
Underwater searches using an underwater drone can be carried out to depths of up to 1 kilometer. The robot is equipped with a grabber for retrieving sunken objects. It has 4 independent cameras that continuously record 4K quality footage and enable live transmission from underwater to any place in the world, in real time. The robot features a high-quality sonar for underwater searches in low-visibility conditions. The use of the smallest, most powerful thrusters in its class allows it to perform searches even in strong currents and flow conditions, where other robots cannot operate. Its quick reconfiguration enables operations in confined spaces, such as flooded tunnels and caves.
Advantages of using an underwater drone for underwater searches
- Unlimited operating time – the robot can work underwater without the limits faced by divers, who are constrained by risks such as hypothermia, decompression sickness, and physical exhaustion.
- The robot can reach great depths that exceed human physiological diving limits.
- Using an underwater robot increases the safety of underwater search and rescue operations by reducing human risk factors.
- Searches performed with a robot and sonar are faster and more accurate.
- The use of the robot in search operations increases the comfort of rescuers, who often have to work in poor visibility or hazardous environments. The robot can locate an object before human divers are sent in.
- The robot can be used for searches in hazardous areas or confined spaces (such as caves, mines, wrecks, tanks with chemicals, or reservoirs containing sharp objects or explosives).
- High-quality photo and video material collected by the underwater robot can serve as evidence for police, rescue, or prosecutor’s investigations.
- The modular construction of the underwater robot allows for integration with various sensors.
