Pengpai Ocean / PX-260
PX-260 Survey AUV
Consider Pengpai Ocean's PX-260 for underwater survey, monitoring and research with a 20 kg payload and a 500 m working-depth rating. Aqua Robot Supply coordinates configuration selection and project quotations. The 12 h endurance is specified at 3 kn; vertical auxiliary propulsion is optional.

Rating and load qualifications
- 100 kg standard vehicle weight and 20 kg payload are different quantities. Manufacturer metric figures are authoritative; imperial conversions are approximate.
- Standard speed is 1–6 kn; endurance is 12 h at 3 kn. The PX-210 custom 15 kn option and general battery-extension claims are not PX-260 ratings.
- Vertical diving/floating and dynamic positioning depend on the optional vertical auxiliary propulsion configuration. Navigation accuracy is package-dependent, not an unconditional 0.3% guarantee.

| Standard vehicle weight | 100 kg (approx. 220.5 lb) Configuration notesVehicle weight, not the 20 kg payload. Battery basis and packed weight need confirmation. |
| Payload | 20 kg (approx. 44.1 lb) Configuration notesConfirm usable mass, instrument dimensions, mounting, power and data interfaces for the selected mission. |
| Working depth | 0–500 m (approx. 0–1640 ft) Configuration notesManufacturer table rating; mission conditions and final configuration require confirmation. |
| Standard velocity range | 1–6 kn (approx. 0.51–3.09 m/s) Configuration notesNot the 15 kn custom range listed for PX-210 or the wider series. Speed is not current resistance. |
| Propulsion and control | Tail-propeller propulsion with cross/X-rudder control Configuration notesExact propulsion hardware and control envelope to be agreed for the selected mission. |
| Vertical propulsion option | Optional vertical auxiliary propeller; vertical diving/floating and dynamic positioning with this configuration Configuration notesNot a default standard capability. Agree thruster arrangement, control functions, energy budget and task limits before selection. |
| Endurance at 3 kn | 12 h at 3 kn (approx. 1.54 m/s) Configuration notesNot endurance at maximum speed. Battery, payload, temperature and full test conditions have not been supplied. |
| Navigation and accuracy | INS + DVL + GNSS + USBL; better than 0.3% / 0.5% / 1% of range, depending on custom configuration Configuration notesSelect one navigation package and agree its operating conditions; these are not simultaneous or unconditional accuracy guarantees. Depth-sensor accuracy is a separate measure. |
| Communications and positioning | UHF, Wi-Fi, 4G and AIS positioning; satellite and underwater acoustic communications optional Configuration notesSurface radio/cellular/AIS functions do not guarantee underwater wireless transmission or unlimited range. Satellite services and acoustic hardware require confirmation. |
| Control software | Manufacturer visual control interface; secondary development and post-mission data processing/analysis described Configuration notesCollaborative networking and data-driven functions are customizable. Software versions, licenses, outputs and maintenance scope to confirm; no supplier service-time promise. |
| Movement modes | Track following, autonomous navigation, depth/altitude navigation and obstacle avoidance; surface and beyond-line-of-sight control described Configuration notesManufacturer function descriptions, not unconditional obstacle-avoidance or remote-control guarantees. Sensor fit, link configuration and task constraints need confirmation. |

| Expandable sensor scope | Underwater CCD, CTD, altimeter, obstacle-avoidance sonar, side-scan sonar, multibeam sonar and USBL Configuration notesMission-integration scope, not all supplied as standard or proven compatible with every third-party device. |
Task and integration scope
Applications and configuration
A different manufacturer-series scene, not PX-260 mission evidence. The photograph does not prove the optional vertical thruster, dynamic positioning, navigation accuracy or 12 h endurance; those requirements must be confirmed for the selected configuration.
Application scope
Marine survey
The manufacturer lists marine geology and geomorphology exploration for the small-AUV range. Define sonar, navigation, survey altitude and data requirements within the selected depth and payload envelope.
Monitoring and research
Marine-parameter monitoring, scientific research and sensor-test uses are described for the range. Confirm CTD or other instruments, endurance conditions, recovery plan and software outputs.
Aquaculture and offshore tasks
The range lists fish-farming and offshore-wind operation/maintenance applications. Mission equipment and obstacle clearance need confirmation; these descriptions do not make PX-260 a net-cleaning ROV or an automatically supplied intervention system.
Selection limits
Assess mission depth, current, obstructions, payload and safe handling for a 100 kg platform before selection. Dynamic positioning is conditional on the quoted auxiliary-propulsion configuration. For a shallower, lower-mass platform compare PX-210; for tethered live inspection or manipulation compare the ROV family.
Documented vehicle equipment
Vehicle and rudder control
The table lists a 260 mm-diameter, 2.5 m platform with tail-propeller propulsion, cross/X-rudder control and a standard 1–6 kn speed range.
Navigation and mission control
INS/DVL/GNSS/USBL navigation and visual control software are described. Actual sensors, one accuracy configuration and enabled functions must be specified.
Surface control arrangement
An integrated ground station or rugged laptop plus portable communication box is listed. Confirm selected devices, communications and final delivery scope in the quotation.
Optional equipment and integration
Vertical auxiliary propulsion
The optional vertical propeller supports vertical diving/floating and dynamic positioning in that configuration. Confirm arrangement, operating limits, control functions and power use; do not assume it is supplied as standard.
Task sensors
Camera, CTD, altitude sensing, obstacle-avoidance, side-scan and multibeam sonar and USBL are expandable scope. Specify device model, mounting, mass, power, interfaces and processing requirements.
Satellite and acoustic links
Satellite and underwater acoustic communications are optional. Specify hardware, coverage, services and required mission-link behavior.
Software customization
Secondary development, networking and data-driven functions are manufacturer customization capabilities. Agree software version, licenses, deliverables and acceptance criteria; these are not supplier-owned development or support guarantees.
Interfaces to confirm
Provide the instrument model, dimensions, mass, voltage/power, connectors, data protocol and software outputs. No PX-260 third-party integration drawing or compatibility test has been supplied. Confirm navigation/calibration and the optional vertical-thruster control package separately. The series depth-sensor figure of 0.01% FS is not vessel-navigation accuracy.
A brochure equipment reference is not a final delivery list. Specify each instrument, controller and accessory in the quotation.
Procurement record
