ROV/AUV Eely

Eely is AUR-Labs snake robot from Eelume.

Currently, it is operated as an ROV through a 400m long optical fiber umbilical. The vehicle is 6 m long with 4 joints allowing the relative position of 5 sections. Therefore, the vehicle can get into different configurations, for example, U-shapes to adjust lighing or camera position. Capacity is being built-on to take advantage of this unique feature.

Three cameras are placed along its main frame, one looking forward in the inspection module at the bow. Another one, also place in the front, is looking backwards and allows to see the vehicle. One more is placed in the middle of the vehicle facing down. Externally, up to 4 cameras have been installed with additional illumination.

Eely is depth rated to 500 m. With its deployment basket, it can be set in the water from any place with a large enough crane. It is transported inside a 20ft kontainer to the deployment ship when necessary.
