By Oceanbotics
SRV-8 is a family of remotely operated underwater robots for camera inspection and additional survey tasks.
SRV-8 is a family of remotely operated underwater robots for camera inspection and additional survey tasks. The vehicle uses eight thrusters and is operated from a surface control station. The manufacturer presents several editions and additional inspection instruments, including sonar and tooling. Figures here come from the SRV-8 data sheet with revision 1.6.2025; other editions are not counted separately. An inspection team should first define the required imagery, instruments and tether route. Listed battery endurance is a manufacturer maximum without complete mission conditions. The sheet contains two different depth values, so depth is omitted. Older documentation also lists a different height and has not been mixed with this revision.
