Chasing M2 S Standard 200m

Chasing M2 S Standard 200m – Industrial-grade ROV with 200m operating radius

The Chasing M2 S is an industrial-grade underwater robot designed for precise inspection and reliable operation. It combines an open-body design, an intelligent flight control system, and advanced image algorithms to improve underwater perception and maneuverability. This Standard pack also includes a floodlight for improved illumination during dives.

Key design and propulsion features

The M2 S uses eight vectored thrusters arranged symmetrically to deliver stable, omnidirectional movement. This layout separates translation and rotation, so the ROV can translate and rotate independently and supports 360-degree omnidirectional movement. The thrusters use the third-generation Apex Anti-stuck C-Motor 3.0 with magnet protection technology. This anti-stuck solution reduces motor wear and electrochemical corrosion while improving reliability under heavy use.

The vehicle also features a flagship sealed structure to guarantee underwater operation performance. A streamlined butterfly-wing outline at the front and rear enhances recognition and protects the propellers. Overall, the ROV remains compact, portable, and easy to deploy for a single-person operation, enabling quick setup and efficient inspections across various underwater scenarios.

Control, navigation and software systems

Chasing equips the M2 S with the NeptuneX intelligent flight control system, which is an exclusive CHASING navigation algorithm. NeptuneX enables more precise control and helps the ROV maintain its movement direction even when external forces or difficult conditions interfere. The product also highlights three core mechanisms:

• C-Sense control system, flexible and stable
• All-scenario Efficient Operation System
• HD Visual image Transmission System

Imaging, color and lighting

Chasing developed a color restoration algorithm specifically for underwater light, physical light paths, and the environment. This algorithm, together with the visual identification and tracking system, improves image transparency, clarity, color layering, and reduces noise.

The Standard pack includes a floodlight, and the M2 S lighting system features two LEDs with adjustable dimming in three gears to adapt illumination to different underwater conditions.

Power, batteries and endurance

The included battery is 97.68Wh and provides up to 4 hours of operation under normal conditions. The battery compartment is ready to use, and a 200Wh backup battery is available as an optional upgrade for longer missions. Charger specifications allow the ROV to charge in 2.5 hours and the remote controller in 2 hours.

Operational performance and limits

The Chasing M2 S has a maximum dive depth of 100 meters and an operating radius of 200 meters. The distance can be extended to 400 meters if required. The vehicle operates across a wide temperature range and is rated for everyday inspection tasks in different industries.
