DESCRIPTION
PHOTON is a Service-Robots from Deep Trekker. It is built for Surveying, Inspection. Key figures: 11.8 kg.
PHOTON is Deep Trekker's compact ROV and the most portable vehicle in its underwater line, designed for quick, simple inspections and surveys, especially in confined spaces such as tanks, hulls, infrastructure and aquaculture pens. It measures 332 x 228 x 481 mm, weighs 11.8 kg in air and is rated to 120 m, built from anodized aluminium, carbon fibre and buoyancy foam with sapphire and acrylic windows. Six independently controlled, infinitely variable, fully reversible thrusters give stable handling in tight spaces and current, and BRIDGE provides automatic station keeping, data capture and low-latency control. A 200-degree rotating enhanced 4K camera with automatic dewarping, colour correction, low-light performance and a turbidity filter mode captures clear images in murky water. The package includes LED floodlights, a swappable battery, a 100 m tether and reel, a BRIDGE controller and a Pelican case; tethers up to 300 m and a direct power kit are available.
