MTRMTR graphic, industrial, commercial and military applications and environments. ROS is ISO-9001-2008 certi? ed com- pany with a 28,000 square foot research and manufacturing facility. Its product line includes underwater video cameras, lights, rugged pan and tilt positioning systems, video in- spection systems and control systems manufactured primar- ily for the oceanographic, nuclear and defense industries.

For 2020, ROS has developed two new technology products designed for deep ocean applications. The SeaStar is a high- powered, lightweight compact LED light that delivers 10,000 lumens output with full-range dimming capability. The Sea-

Star is completely Field Serviceable and available with ? ood or spot re? ector options.

It is depth rated to 6,000 meters.

It operates with zero backlash and is depth ing and positioning systems for the most extreme oceano- rated to 6000 meters.

Its control system enables both manual and automated con- trol, with the potential for full autonomy in the future.

Millimeter precision comes from each of the seven joint modules having its own self-contained smart distributed microprocessor designed to deliver intelligent, intuitive and precise arm control. According to SaabSeaeye this delivers exacting, repeatable, precision which can predict limb motion paths for self-collision avoidance, adjusts movement requests to meet available power and collates joint data for uni? ed control.

Included in the design is an adaptable power input system with advanced power management to limit peaks in power demand and manage regenerative loads. Tested through many million cycles, the titanium built eManip’s planned reliability is aimed at reducing operating costs.
