Sentinus

DESCRIPTION

Sentinus is an Industrial-Robot from Blue Atlas Robotics. It is built for Data Collection, Mapping, Surveying. Key figures: 22 kg, 60 min runtime.

Sentinus is Blue Atlas Robotics' underwater inspection ROV for ports, harbours and vessels, built to collect visual data and turn it into detailed 3D models of submerged structures and ship hulls while personnel stay safely above the surface. It uses computer vision to see where it is going and where it has been, calculating full-coverage survey scans with intelligent algorithms so operators avoid complex mission planning, and it can visually lock onto a target for consistent data quality. A tall, slim aluminium frame carries six high-resolution cameras, ten 1,500-lumen dimmable lights and eight 390 W thrusters for strong currents and tight manoeuvres, with full rotational freedom in six degrees of freedom of motion. Onboard intelligence handles real-time decisions, with self-stabilising, auto-heading and auto-depth control, and data is stored on a 2 TB SSD. It is rated to 100 m depth, runs about 60 minutes on its 266 Wh battery or continuously on topside power, and connects through a detachable fibre-optic tether of 100 m or 200 m, or up to 500 m on request. Options include an imaging sonar for navigation, a hyperspectral camera for biofouling and marine-life analysis, a six-camera vision system and a calibrated stereo camera for more precise photogrammetry. It ships with a field-ready controller running the Sentinus Go! app and is used for quay walls, pilings and moorings, hull and propeller inspection without dry docking, naval asset inspection, bridges, dams, pipelines, water tanks and offshore energy infrastructure.
