Search & Recovery Robotic System

SARbot™

The SARbot™ is a low-cost, robotic system which is optimized for underwater search and recovery in low-visibility conditions.

SARbot Datasheet

SARbot™

Portable

The SARbot™ is single person deployable.

Options

Three different Power Consoles (2400W Max.) are offered to accommodate different budgets.  The model shown is the M3 which has 380VDC output, built-in CPU and 22”, sunlight readable screen.

Low Visibility Operations

By utilizing a FLS (forward looking sonar) the SARbot™ can operate in harsh underwater environments down to zero camera visibility.

Complete the Mission

If the recovery target/victim is beyond diver depth or divers are not available, the SARbot™ system can be used for retrieval by locking onto the target/victim with the onboard gripper and pulling the SARbot™ tether. (Note: This process should only be used by experienced and knowledgeable SAR operators.)

SARbot™ Features

  • 8 Thruster, Vectored,  6-Axis Motion, 3-Axis Stabilized, Open-Frame MiniROV
  • Multibeam Imaging Sonar Ready (Gemini 720ik, Oculus M750d or BlueView M900)
  • 1200W Vehicle Power Supply (600W & 1800W Optional)
  • 3 Power Console Options (2400W/380VDC Max. Output)
  • 6000 Lumens of LED Lighting (Standard)
  • Upgraded Buoyancy
  • 100m or 300m Depth Rating
  • Interlocking Gripper
  • Reinforced Load Transfer for Object Recovery
  • 125m & 250m Standard Tether Lengths
  • Tether Disconnect (Baromax 8-Pin Wetmate)
  • Internal Ethernet Hub for Additional Accessories
  • Additional Internal Power Supplies (5VDC, 12VDC & 24VDC)
  • Underwater GPS / Acoustic Tracking Systems Optional
  • SARbot Vehicle comes in a Large Hard-sided SKB Case Ready for Deployment

SARbot Search and Recovery ROV

Photo Gallery

SARbot decending to start the search.

Even in low or zero visibility, the multibeam imaging sonar can help you search, navigate and even identify targets.

This is a good look at how a rescue training dummy looks through the sonar. Often times, the shadows cast from the target can provide more information than the bright, target side illuminated by the acoustic pulses. 

  

One option when using ROVs for search and recovery is to use the ROV itself to retrieve the victim. This is accomplished by securely gripping the victim with the ROV gripper and then the tether is gently pulled to raise the victim towards the surface.

 
 

This procedure should be considered only if all other reasonable options for retrieval have been ruled out. 

Under ice search and recovery

Under ice / through ice deployments for the SARbot can be huge time savers and life savers.

Background

History Lesson

The original SARbot was created by SeaBotix in 2009.  It was designed to operate as a ture "Search & Rescue" ROV for First Responders in the UK.  The idea was based on locating and recovering the drowning victim within the "golden hour" to revive them and save their lives.  The SeaBotix SARbot System was a very well thought out kit but unfortunately not many First Responder organizations could afford the >$100,000 USD price tag (as pictured).


The BlueLink SARbot™ follows in the footsteps of its predecessor but primarily focused on "Search & Recovery".  Consider it a revival of sorts.  It is possible that the BlueLink SARbot™ could be deployed in time to save a life, but more realistically, it will be utilized for recovery purposes in most cases.
