Tiburon Subsea Upgrades ROV Otis

Tiburon Subsea Services Inc. selected GreenSea Systems Inc. to supply its new controlling and operating system for science class ROV Otis. GreenSea Systems develops automation and navigation for unmanned underwater vehicles. The new control, navigation and station-keeping upgrades being added to OTIS will make the vehicle one of the most versatile ROVs of its size available for rent, Tiburon Subsea said.

The custom 600 meter ROV offers low power consumption, excellent optics and sensors. It is an ideal vehicle for marine research, HD filming and or light workloads as it can be deployed from a boat or any platform. “When today's light class inspection vehicles are not enough and you need a working class system this ROV is the perfect solution,” said Tim Taylor President of Tiburon Subsea.

Otis is an electric light work-class vehicle equipped with precision tracking system (USBL), optically corrected color HD video camera, quad LED lighting array, color laser video measuring system, multi-beam imaging sonar and five axis hydraulic manipulator. Optional payloads include Conductivity/Temperature/Depth sensor and sample collection, sampling trays, jet tools, scanning sonar, sub-bottom profile sonar and other custom sensor packages, tools can also be integrated as needed.
