Forssea Robotics

Paris, France – www.forssea-robotics.fr

Forssea Robotics is a subsea robotics and vision company launched in May 2016 to develop innovative technology to reduce subsea operating costs in the offshore niche markets.

After three years of R&D, FORSSEA started the quali? ca- tion of its technologies in 2019 and formed a commercial partnership with Subsea Technology and Rentals.

Forssea innovations include:

ATOLL: Smart lifting autonomous docking ROV, designed to deploy and recover light assets on the seabed (such as LBL transponders). The ROV can perform a supervised autono- mous dive, approach and docking based on embedded control algorithms. ATOLL can mechanically engage a subsea struc- ture for recovery back to surface.

ARGOS: Smart light intervention class smart ROV designed for autonomous or supervised inspections with a key focus on renewable markets and USV integration for unmanned op- erations and remote piloting from an onshore control center.

The standard vehicle platform includes the latest advances in ROV technology that the industry has come to demand and expect from modern ROV design. ARGOS is compact in design and the vehicle is powerful enough to perform IRM operations with use of the optional electric ? ve function ma- nipulator arm and various tooling and survey skid interfaces. www.marinetechnologynews.com
