PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Charpie Underwater ROV is a professional-grade, modular underwater robot designed for reliable inspection and exploration. Available in three- or six-thruster configurations, it delivers precise control and strong maneuverability. An open-source software architecture and expandable accessory ecosystem enable flexible customization for diverse missions. Equipped with a tilt-adjustable 1080p HD camera and 3,000-lumen dimmable lighting, Charpie ROV provides clear, stable visuals even in challenging underwater environments. Deployed in numerous operations worldwide, it is a trusted platform for commercial and research applications.

BUILD THE ROV YOU NEED

CharpieROV features a rugged, open-frame design optimized for modular expansion. The structure supports rapid integration of tools such as grippers, imaging sonar, and custom sensors, with an optional payload skid for larger or additional payloads, including extended battery modules.

Designed as a flexible underwater platform, CharpieROV supports a broad range of applications, including:

● Search and recovery
● Infrastructure and asset inspection (dams, pipelines, hulls)
● Aquaculture and fisheries monitoring
● Environmental and marine research
● Photogrammetry and 3D mapping
● Public safety and emergency response
● Education, training, and prototyping
● Technology development and system integration

CONFIGURING YOUR NEEDS

The HX-300-S is an upgraded version of the HX-300-B, featuring a surface-powered design that eliminates battery endurance limitations and enables long-duration outdoor operations. Built for reliability in demanding environments, it is ideal for engineering teams and professional underwater missions such as underwater inspection, search and rescue operations, infrastructure maintenance, and other extended-duration subsea tasks.
