Observation Mini ROV
Modern ROV systems can be categorized by size, depth capability, onboard horsepower, and whether they are all-electric or electro-hydraulic.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Modern ROV systems can be categorized by size, depth capability, onboard horsepower, and whether they are all-electric or electro-hydraulic.
Micro - typically Micro class ROVs are very small in size and weight. Today’s Micro Class ROVs can weigh less than 3 kg. These ROVs are used as an alternative to a diver, specifically in places where a diver might not be able to physically enter such as a sewer, pipeline or small cavity.
Mini - typically Mini Class ROVs weigh in around 15 kg. Mini Class ROVs are also used as a diver alternative. One person may be able to transport the complete ROV system out with them on a small boat, deploy it and complete the job without outside help. Occasionally both Micro and Mini classes are referred to as "eyeball" class to differentiate them from ROVs that may be able to perform intervention tasks.
This report covers both micro and mini Observation ROV.
