Excavator
- The Excavator was design with marine archaeology in mind. Amphora and other artifacts are delicate to remove. This procedure is often performed by diver and takes considerable time for mapping, cataloging and of course not to break pieces. In deeper water this machine will perform when it is not practical for divers.
+ Performance
Thrusters configured to maneuver the vehicle while it is in flying mode allow the operator to position the excavator in delicate areas. Once positioned a large volume ballast system sets a heavy ballast mode for stable and precise operation of a long reach arm with manipulators capable of delicate work and precise positioning.
+ Parts and Description
Servo motors and electronics make up the machine and with the light weight construction and high power motors, durability and stability make this a key component to deep water archaeology.
+ Operating Environment
Like a typical ROV the Excavator is operated by a control station on a surface support vessel. An option to park on the bottom is considered since the ballast allows it to set heavy on the bottom where most flying vehicles have to be hands on continuously.
+ Appearance
The underwater excavator looks different than any other ROV because it is.
+ Ergonomic
