Cutting-Edge Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for Marine & Underwater Professionals
Oceanbotics is a leading developer of innovative underwater robotic systems for marine and underwater professionals. Our cutting-edge ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) are designed with ease of use and precision control foremost in mind, and are the number one choice for a wide range of commercial, scientific and government customers around the world.
The SRV-8 is a professional underwater ROV designed to serve a wide variety of applications from inspection and survey to scientific research. The highly versatile robotic vehicle is powered by eight thrusters with a dynamic vector control system that enables intuitive operation and precise maneuverability even in challenging ocean currents.
Rated to depths of 305 meters (1000 ft), the SRV-8 features an onboard camera with both a real-time analog feed for the operator and an HD 1080p digital feed for on-site viewing or recording. It can also be easily equipped with other payloads and accessories including manipulators, imaging sonars, USBLs and laser scalers.
