Abstract

An adaptive tooling interface comprises a plurality of motors, disposed at least partially within a housing, which are operatively in communication with a controller and where a first power output is operatively in communication with a first motor of the plurality of motors and a second power output operatively in communication with a second motor of the plurality of motors. A drive interface, comprising a tooling adapter, is operatively in communication with the plurality of motors and configured to mate with and provide power to one or more tools, which comprise a matching subsea tool tooling interface, via the first power output and the second power output. The adaptive tooling interface may be connected to or otherwise integrated into a subsea vehicle system comprising a subsea vehicle.
