Scientific Resources
Discover all the tools available to «Cirtesu» to enable the development of projects, the manufacture of prototypes and the operation of the activity.
➥ AUVs
Girona 500 AUV
-IQUA ROBOTICS-
Autonomous underwater vehicle with hovering capability for a maximum depth of 500m. The Girona 500 can be easily configured for multiple tasks thanks to a large payload volume and an open software architecture. The overall dimensions of the vehicle are 1 m in height, 1 m in width, 1.5 m in length and a weight of less than 200 Kg.
BlueROV2
-BLUE ROBOTICS-
The BlueROV2 is the world’s most affordable high-performance ROV. With a 6-thruster vectored configuration, open-source electronics and software, and plenty of expandability, it’s the perfect ROV for inspections, research, and adventuring.
Seabotix LBV 200
-TELEDYNE MARINE-
With powerful brushless thrusters, small diameter low drag tether, and a very stable and maneuverable platform, the SeaBotix LBV200 Series is the most capable and featured system in its class. The LBV200 is an extremely portable system with a host of options offering a turnkey solution to a demanding
➥ USVs
BlueBoat
-BLUE ROBOTICS-
The BlueBoat is a robotic surface vessel ideal for hydrographic surveys, robotics development, and scientific missions. It serves as a versatile platform for marine technology and sensor integration.
Educational «Buoy»
-CIRTESU-
A first surface vehicle prototype was built in order to perform surveilllance operations such as bathymetries in low depth environments and to give support to underwater vehicles.
XS Catamaran
-ERPLAST-
The XS is a very light boat which, thanks to its polyethylene construction, offers robustness and ease of maintenance. It measures 3m and weighs 63kg.
➥ SIMULATORS
UWSIM
The UnderWater SIMulator (UWSIM) for marine robotics research and development started with the RAUVI and TRIDENT research projects as a tool for testing and integrating perception and control algorithms before running them on the real robots.
UWSim visualizes an underwater virtual scenario that can be configured using standard modeling software. Controllable underwater vehicles, surface vessels and robotic manipulators, as well as simulated sensors, can be added to the scene and accessed externally through network interfaces. This allows to easily integrate the visualization tool with existing control architectures.
➥ MANIPULATORS
Reach Alpha 5
-REACH ROBOTICS-
The Reach Robotics Alpha 5 Underwater Manipulator is a leap in miniature subsea manipulation technology. Three bends coupled with a wrist rotate grabber allow for the end effector to be precisely orientated and positioned in 3D space.
With a lifting capacity of 2 kg at full reach and a weight of less than 900 g in water, the Reach 5 is perfect for tasks requiring precise positioning and unmatched dexterity on a small scale. Feedback of position and force provides active self-protection.
Reach Bravo 7
-REACH ROBOTICS-
The Reach Bravo enables Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) tasks usually reserved for more expensive work-class ROVs. Do more with a low logistics footprint and a lightweight manipulator that is compact, strong, and tough.
➥ OTHER EQUIPMENT
