About Remotion
Remotion builds magnetic crawling robots for inspection, cleaning and maintenance on steel structures above and below water. Its vehicles adhere to vertical, overhead and curved ferromagnetic surfaces, carrying cameras, non-destructive-testing sensors and tools into hull, tank and offshore areas that would otherwise require divers, scaffolding or rope access.
The hydraulic Hercules works to 100 metres depth with a 100-kilogram payload and 1,600-kilogram magnetic holding force, supporting hull cleaning, inspection and subsea cutting. The electric Achilles uses four-wheel steering and adaptive magnetic suspension for complex geometry, while Zeus carries hydro-blasting, pressure-washing or grit-blasting tools on exposed structures. Remotion supplies the robots with topside control, umbilicals, deployment equipment and project services.

Timeline
Events
- 2022-06-10 - Deployment - Remotion deploys new Icarus pipe-wrapping robot offshore
The completed Icarus system followed a development sprint from an initial February concept to June 2022 delivery. The robot applied two tape products at different overlap specifications while maintaining tension and collecting backing film. After a DNV-hosted HazID and FMECA, the system went offshore and operated as planned, bringing Remotion's available Icarus fleet to three.
