SeaBotix Inc. manufactures the most comprehensive line of MiniROV in the world. With more than 600 systems sold worldwide (2008) the success of the LBV has come largely from the exceptional capability, intuitiveness and affordability.
The Little Benthic Vehicle (LBV), a small remotely operated vehicle t is capable of carrying a wide array of oceanographic tools for inspection and light duty underwater work.
Recently SeaBotix equipped its ROV with knobby tires and gave it a vortex generator that lets it adhere to surfaces, such as the hull of a ship. Once stuck to the ship’s side, an operator can “steer” the vehicle like a radio-controlled car, traveling as fast as 100 feet per minute, looking for explosives or contraband.
The LBV systems are supplied with high resolution low light color cameras that provide high quality video images. Under less than perfect conditions the images can suffer from low contrast and poor color as a result of turbidity. This is not a fault of the camera, but rather a result of the conditions.
SeaBotix offers LYYN Hawk Boards™ integrated into the console as an option to all new systems. SeaBotix and SeaBotix dealers also offers LYYN T38™ to existing customers. Integration of a LYYN T38 into LBV and LBV150SE-5 systems is quite simple for most systems.
Two different consoles. The one to the left with integrated LYYN Hawk Board™, HAWK control panel mounted to the left.
The right console is equipped with a LYYN T38™.
