Cellula Robotics’ Solus-XR XLAUV (eXtra Large Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) has successfully obtained MASS (Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship) compliance in Canada.
This significant milestone follows the earlier MASS compliance of the Solus-LR AUV and underscores Cellula’s commitment to operational safety and technological advancement as a leading innovator in autonomous marine systems.
The MASS compliance process involves a rigorous evaluation of the vehicle’s safety equipment, operating procedures, control systems, and operator qualifications. By meeting these stringent standards, Cellula ensures the safe operation of the Solus-XR, particularly when it transitions to the surface.
The Solus-XR is a groundbreaking autonomous underwater vehicle designed for extended missions and demanding applications. With a length of approximately 11 meters, a width of 1.7 meters, and a weight of around 8 metric tons in air, it represents a significant advancement in the field of autonomous marine technology.
Cellula Robotics is committed to pushing the boundaries of marine technology and providing innovative solutions to complex challenges facing the oceanographic industry. The MASS compliance of the Solus-XR marks a major step forward in realizing the full potential of autonomous underwater vehicles.
By enabling the exploration of deep-sea trenches, monitoring underwater infrastructure, and collecting data, the Solus-XR addresses critical challenges that require advanced technological solutions.
This milestone paves the way for a future where the ocean’s depths are better understood and protected. Cellula Robotics is proud to be at the forefront of this technological revolution, driving innovation and shaping the future of marine exploration.
A representative of Cellula Robotics commented, “Achieving MASS compliance for the Solus-XR is a testament to our dedication to safety and operational excellence.
“By adhering to the highest safety standards, we are enabling the deployment of advanced autonomous systems that can revolutionize marine operations.”
