Mini-ROV OBSERVER


  • The Observer Mini-ROV is an ultra-portable underwater inspection robot fitted with 2 high resolution colour video cameras, one on pan&tilt, and LED lighting, Embedded batteries allow 4h autonomy and operation in the most remote areas down to 150m depth.Thanks to an ancillary plug, various accessories such as sonars, gauges and manipulator can easily be mounted on the Observer. The complete system with its umbilical is packaged in one single transport case with a total weight of 32 kg.

    VIDEO CAMERAS

    The Observer mini-ROV embeds 2 high sensitivity 700 TVL video cameras. Rear camera is fix while front camera is mounted on pan&tilt.
    BATTERIES

    Thanks to its two NiMh embedded batteries, the Observer mini- ROV has fully autonomous energy supply allowing operations up to 4h in the most remote locations.
    ANCILLARY PLUG

    The quick plug interface available on the Observer mini-ROV allows easy integration of many options such as sonars, USBL positioning system, US and CP probes, etc.

    Manipulators et samplers

    Subsea Tech has developed its own accessories for Mini-ROV. Among them, a 2-function manipulator that allows grabbing objects, a cutter to cut cables and ropes, as well as water or sediment samplers.

    Sonars

    High turbidity does not allow the use of the standard video camera. Acoustic solutions allow imaging even in zero visibility conditions. Scanning sonar makes it possible to scan a zone for navigation purpose, while 2D multibeam sonar, also called “acoustic camera”, is a high-performance real-time imaging solution.

    Acoustic positionning

    USBL (Ultra-Short Baseline) systems allow location of a target relative to a reference unit on the surface. You can then easily locate and record routing of your Mini-ROV Observer, which facilitates navigation and increases the efficiency of excursions.

    Measurement probes

    Subsea Tech Mini-ROVs can be equipped with various probes such as: thickness measurement probe, cathodic protection measurement probe or several physico-chemical probes (salinity, conductivity, pH, etc.).

    Laser pointer

    The combination of Subsea Tech’s laser pointer and Inspeciton Viewer software is a complete solurtion for measuring all kids of distances on images captured by the ROV.

    Wheel frame

    If you carry out pipe inspections, the wheel frame helps to contain the risk of friction on the walls.
