Abstract
An adaptive tooling interface comprises a single motor, disposed at least partially within a housing, which is operatively in communication with a controller and where a first power output and a second power output are operatively in communication with the motor. A drive interface, comprising a external tool interface, is operatively in communication with the motor and configured to mate with and provide power to one or more external tools, which comprise a matching subsea external tool external 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.
