Reach Alpha 5
Reach RoboticsThe Reach Alpha 5 is a 5-function, lightweight, all-electric subsea robotic manipulator arm produced by Reach Robotics (Sydney, Australia, founded 2016). It is designed for portable and inspection-class ROVs, with a 2 kg lift capacity, 360 mm reach, and 300 MSW depth rating. The arm is operator-controlled via multiple input options (master arm, gamepad, command pods, API) and is used for subsea manipulation tasks such as door-handle actuation and light intervention work. The system is a teleoperated/remote-controlled manipulator — a human operator performs the manipulation tasks by driving the arm; it does not autonomously execute tasks on its own.

Evidence-graded claims from the Reach Robotics deep report
The Reach Bravo offers a 10 kg lift capacity, 450 MSW depth rating, 900 mm reach, self-protection against collision, and 3D visualisation software.
All specifications derive solely from the official Reach Bravo product page [4]; no independent field test, customer report, or third-party review has verified these performance figures or the collision-protection and 3D visualisation features in operational conditions.
from Reach Robotics deep report →Reach Robotics secured an Australian Government Defence Innovation Hub contract as part of a $19M ADF investment to develop robotic clearance diver technology, reducing personnel risk through remote operations.
The contract is announced on Reach Robotics' own blog [10]; while the Defence Innovation Hub is a real government programme, no independent government press release, ADF announcement, or third-party news report in the dossier independently corroborates the specific contract award or the $19M figure attributed to Reach Robotics.
