• Eelume is a snake like robot designed for subsea inspection, maintenance and repair.

• It is designed to be able to maneuver into small areas that are hard to access by current remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV)

• It is built to live permanently underwater. This will allow 24/7 access and repair without having to utilize costly surface vessels.

• The company hopes to install them near underwater pipelines and other structures that need regular inspection and repair.

• There is not a price currently stated, however they will be more cost efficient than current ROV technology after installation, due to their permanent underwater location.

• Once finalized they will help make underwater work much easier for workers.

• It is also safer, greener, and more cost efficient then current subsea repair methods.

• They hope to be actively stationed and utilized by 2020 as the product is still in a testing phase.

• There are other ROV technologies being designed and improved on, driving this specific design to improve in quality.

• Technology like this should stick around as it is only the start of their company's mission to reshape underwater operations.
