Hullbot

DESCRIPTION

Hullbot is a Cleaning-Robots from Hullbot. It is built for Cleaning, Inspection.

Hullbot is the autonomous, free-swimming underwater robot that Hullbot uses to groom ship hulls, removing slime and early biofouling before it can develop into heavier growth. Frequent, gentle grooming keeps the hull smooth, which reduces drag, fuel consumption and emissions; Hullbot reports fuel savings of around 15% and more than 2,500 vessel cleans. Because it swims rather than clinging on with magnets or tracks, it can clean curved surfaces, propellers, niche areas and non-magnetic hulls such as aluminium. The robot works with custom brush arrays whose type, contact pressure and cleaning speed are adjusted to each vessel's coating, and Hullbot states that it is safe on hard, ablative and foul-release coatings. 4K cameras support autonomous navigation and record before, during and after footage of every clean, which doubles as a hull inspection without divers. It is compact and transportable, needs no support vessel or shore infrastructure, and deploys at berth or at anchor, day or night, with several robots used together for tight port windows. It is not sold: Hullbot operates it as part of a managed subscription service.
