Subsea Robotics
Subsea robotics refers to the use of robotic systems designed to operate underwater. These machines are often employed for tasks such as exploration, inspection, and maintenance of underwater structures, including oil rigs and pipelines. They can be remotely operated or autonomous, allowing for efficient data collection and intervention in challenging underwater environments.
These robotic systems include various types, such as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Subsea robotics plays a crucial role in industries like marine research, oil and gas, and renewable energy, helping to enhance safety and reduce costs in underwater operations.
