SEARCH & RECOVERY OPERATION

Don't leave mission success to chance. Reach Robotics's lightweight manipulators provide the dexterity you need to deal with the unknowns of your complex recovery operations.

WHY REACH MANIPULATORS
FOR SPECIAL RECOVERY?

  • Vehicle agnostic for quick integration onto existing vehicle fleets
  • Bespoke tools for Special Recovery applications
  • High Dexterity – reach places and conduct tasks previously infeasible with an ROV
  • Master arm enabled – reduce training and mission time
  • Advanced Operator Interface – Enhance perception of the task
  • Very small logistics footprint – plug-and-play when the mission requires it.

APPLICATIONS

We’re helping Special Recovery operators, including First Responders and Search and Rescue teams, do more with their underwater robotics and autonomous systems. Reach Robotics’s lightweight manipulator arm multiplies the capability of existing underwater platforms by enabling the following tasks.

  • Close Visual Inspection
  • Access confined to spaces beyond the capability of a free-flying ROV
  • Hold and recover objects
  • Attach/hook a carabiner/recovery cable connector (RCC)
  • Pull and cut a rope, line, and netting
  • Forensic evidence collection

“The dexterity that the Alpha 5 arm provides along with the torque it has, allowed us to perform complex tasks such as swinging a door handle down 90 degrees, as well as move object in a tight space forwards, backwards, up, down all while twisting at the same time. This ability is what made the extraction possible. There is no question that this operation would not have been a success without the capabilities of our Alpha 5 arm.”
