go further than ROVs with self-operating robots

See the process below for a typical inspection with a Sentinus underwater inspection robot.

HOW TO SURVEY UNDERWATER
WITH THE SENTINUS ROBOT

Choose from a range of customisations to fit your field - from power source type to tether length.

1. Deploy Sentinus
The Sentinus self-steering robot is easily deployed by one person by hand.

At only 16 kilograms,
the Sentinus is easy to deploy with a single set of hands.

Simply lower the robust robot into the water, ship-side or quayside.
Retrieving the robot after the inspection is just as easy.

2. Align Sentinus with your target
Use the joystick to move the Sentinus to the edge of the subsea object you would like imaged.

Our solution involves no complicated pre-flight planning.
The robot visually "locks on" to the target surface with its eight front-facing "eyes".

Once the robot has "locked on", it automatically keeps its distance
and is ready to start self-steering, tracking sideways along the target.

3. Start your survey
Press the "start" button on the console to begin the survey.

Once the survey is initiated, the Sentinus navigates itself automatically,
based on what it can see.

Although one operator is required on-site to supervise the robot,
the subsea survey is performed largely without intervention.

4. Watch the Sentinus do the work
The inspection is performed on autopilot by the robot with minimal intervention from the operator.

The survey is performed in a methodical pattern that ensures
no area of the inspection target is missed.

The robot is automatically stabilized against currents
via the onboard computer.
The result is footage that is close, clear, and consistent.

5. Generate reports and 3D models
Our data is easy to insert into your favourite 3D modeling platforms, or use our suggested platform, PointView, to easily generate reports and 3D models from your Sentinus inspection footage.

Generate detailed reports about your inspection,
with high quality visual data.

Create 3D digital twins of your inspected assets,
for maintenance planning and accurate comparisons over time.

Deploy Sentinus

Align Sentinus with target
Use the joystick to move the Sentinus to the edge of the subsea object you would like imaged.

Our solution involves no complicated pre-flight planning.
The inspection path is calculated automatically in real-time
by the Sentinus' advanced routing algorithms.

The Sentinus is driven close to the inspection target so it can "see"
it with computer vision and begin its self-steering survey process.

Start survey
Press the "start" button to begin the survey.

Once the survey is initiated, the Sentinus navigates itself automatically,
based on what it can see.

Although one operator is required on-site to supervise the robot,
the subsea survey is performed largely without intervention.

Watch the Sentinus do the work
The inspection is performed autonomously by the robot with minimal intervention from the operator.

The survey is performed in a methodical pattern that ensures
no area of the inspection target is missed.

The robot is automatically stabilized against currents
via the onboard computer.
The result is footage that is close, clear, and consistent.
