Harbour Robots
Clean-Up and Surveillance
Our new family of ship bots will take care of autonomous cleaning and surveillance. On the right a first prototype from a university – suitable for our Clean-Up Project@Lake Victoria
Cleaning Robots (Sizes S, M, XL )
Our cleaning & surveillance robot for large harbors and big lakes is about 4 – 6 meters, a multihull, and made out of aluminum and steel and two inflatable hulls. It is driven by two powerful electrical engines and lithium batteries and optional a gas stroke engine for charging the battery during the work. This allows the use without interruption.
We use as a role model the robot of a university in down-under. But we will make a much easier version, which is a) more robus b) cheaper
Applications for AUV’s
Sniffer
Find toxins close to public or industry sewers. Especially in countries like India, this could help to identify those companies, which are initiating sewages.
Accidents or Leaks
Find leaks in water or oil pipelines nearby the coasts or in depths up to 600 feet.
Osmosis detection for Sailing and Motor Yachts
Instead of heaving the ship out of the water, the underwater ship can be examined with an ROV
Support underwater construction
Similar to the moon, robots will be the first to provide the basis for an underwater habitat … and our spheres!
Search for underwater artefacts
Diving deeper than 60 meters or 180 feet is very challenging for scuba divers. But it is easy for ROV’s to dive until 300 meters or 900 feet for exploration and more
