…be widely categorized into two categories. Remotely operated vehicles: ROVs or landers can perform operations like terrain exploration, collecting samples, and reconnaissance. They can also take pictures and detect changes in the environment like variations in temperature. NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance are examples of rovers. Space manipulators: These are basically robotic arms that assist in maintenance, repair, assembly, and inspection. These are also used in loading/offloading of objects within the space shuttle. Three of the most widely known space manipulators are: Canadarm1—14.7 m (48.8 ft.) long arms Canadarm2—17.5 m (57.7 ft.) long arms Special-Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) or Dextre—3.3 m…

…doing air and marine.” Although many remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are already inspecting rigs on the ocean surface, and drones are conducting aerial inspections, no one is focused on the “splash zone” where the two meet because they never had dual modality before, claimed Diez. He expanded on the value proposition of this specific use case: “Nobody gets close to the surface. So they’re saying that that’s a huge application for us.” In the long term, Diez said he could imagine replacing tethered ROVs altogether as his system is easier and cheaper to deploy.

…systems. They will combine VideoRay's remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, with the Sarcos Guardian Sea Class system, which includes its power-efficient dexterous robotic arms. Under the terms of the agreement, Sarcos and VideoRay will each be able to sell an integrated underwater system, as well as their respective individual products. They will also provide replacement parts and repair services and support. “This collaboration is significant for the industry, as it will enable Sarcos and VideoRay customers to easily purchase a pre-integrated system combining VideoRay’s best-in-class remotely operated vehicles with our advanced one- or two-armed Sea Class system,” stated Kiva Allgood,…

…Sea Class underwater robot, integrated with a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV), is designed for both shallow and deep underwater use up to 1 km and can perform inspections on a ship’s hull, propeller shaft, and propeller shaft tube, along with recovering unidentified objects from a ship’s hull. The Guardian S visual inspection robot, which can traverse ferromagnetic vertical surfaces and access confined spaces, can be deployed inside and outside a ship to identify foreign objects. “Working at height in dynamic environments, such as shipyards, is extremely dangerous work,” said Kiva Allgood, president and CEO of Sarcos. “Sarcos’ portfolio of teleoperated robots…
