Greensea's ship hull crawler technology launches with VideoRay Defender ROV

摘要

Greensea, USA, reports it has developed a new hull crawler that attaches an ROV to a ship's hull without magnetics and allows the operator to "drive" the ROV and payloads over the hull. Initial Greensea hull crawlers are designed to work exclusively with the VideoRay, USA, Mission Specialist Defender ROV. Greensea said the hull crawler represents a milestone in its hull robotics programme, which is advancing navigation and localisation capabilities for a fully autonomous robotic hull inspection and proactive in-water cleaning solution.
