Remus

Remus

Remus refers to a type of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that comes in different models such as REMUS 600 and REMUS 6000. It is capable of diving to great depths, with REMUS 600 reaching up to 3,000 meters and REMUS 6000 having a maximum operation depth of 6,000 meters. A typical Remus uses a single propulsor system for propulsion, but some variations may use a counter-rotating propeller system.From: Autonomous Underwater Vehicles [2017], Enhancing the roll dynamics of an AUV by contra-rotating-propellers [2021]

Kongsberg manufactures the HUGIN AUVs and REMUS AUVs, besides providing various instruments and software for navigation. The HUGIN AUV can be used for subsea sensing. These AUVs are designed to go as deep as 4,500 meters (HUGIN 4500), and can propel and navigate themselves. They also have the ability to handle disturbances. The REMUS AUVs have the advantage that they can be custom designed. These AUVs at present are available in three models: REMUS 100, REMUS 600, and REMUS 6000. REMUS 100 is lightweight and can go 100 meters deep. REMUS 600 has the ability to go to 3,000 meters deep, while REMUS 6000 has a maximum operation depth of 6,000 meters.

Among the number of developed AUVs, one of the most usual rigid-body types is Remus (Prestero 2001; Wu et al. 2018). The geometry is illustrated in Figure 1, and the geometric parameters are presented in Table 1. In a typical Remus, a single propulsor system is used for propulsion, while in this paper, a counter-rotating propeller system is utilised.
