Underwater Gripper using Distributed Network and Adaptive Control

Journal of Electrical Engineering and Automation, 2020
Underwater identification and grasping of objects is a major challenge faced by the marine engineers even today. Nowadays, almost all underwater operations are either autonomous or tele-operated. In fact remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are used to deal with inspection tasks and industrial maintenance whenever there is need for intervention.
