MDMS: Autonomous Underwater Manipulation

RE2's Maritime Dexterous Manipulation System features the only human-like electromechanical 6 degree-of-freedom robotic arm for inspection-class ROVs that offers neutral buoyancy, corrosion protection, and pressure compensation.  

Whether used for commercial applications, industrial tasks, or military operations, RE2 Robotics is committed to creating state-of-the-art robotic technologies and is focused on developing products that can save human lives.  

Why choose MDMS?

•  Electronically driven, energy-saving system prolongs runtime and frees up subsea UUV power for cameras and sensors to interrogate the environment 
• Lightweight, compact design allows for smaller “footprint,” or volume, in constricted or precarious environments 
• Neutral buoyancy ensures system stays balanced and controllable at any depth 
• Closed, sealed design protects electrical system from water ingress and grit, reducing system maintenance and downtime 
• Multi-level corrosion management system, including the use of sacrificial anodes and anodized joints, allows for extended subsea interactions 
• Flexible system can be teleoperated with RE2’s instinctive and easy-to-use Imitative Controller (IC), or operated with autonomous and semi-autonomous control 
• The system is designed to easily integrate with ROVs and AUVs from leading manufacturers, including VideoRay, Teledyne Seabotix, Oceaneering, and more.
