Proteus – Launch and Recovery System (LARS)
Originally Part of the Autonomous Synchronised Stabilised Platform (ASSP) Project
With financial support from the Marine Challenge Fund (part of the ERDF’s European and Structural Funds Growth programme 2014-2020), STL Research have developed a multi-axis robotic arm for ship-based deployment.
The arm, known as Proteus, is designed to simplify the launch and recovery operations of AUVs, ROVs and ASVs, by automatically tracking their position and stabilising its connection tool to compensate for any wave induced vessel and target motion. Proteus makes this process faster and safer for all involved and can even be installed and used on autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) to enable them to execute intervention tasks – e.g. equipment transfers, survey and inspection, or launch and recovery operations.
Our Proteus Launch and Recovery Systems now have their own dedicated site, which can be visited by clicking here, or on the image below.
