Autonomous inspection of underwater structures

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2015
In the future our resource on land will be over exploited. The exploration of new resources in the ocean is in progress. Mining will be done on the bottom of the sea. The sea is also a big source of renewable energy. Off shore wind parks and tide plants are built. Also, the major world trade is handled over sea routes and several big harbors.

Guidance of AUVs for Autonomous Underwater Inspection

Automatisierungstechnik, 2015
Abstract In this paper, a task-based online path-planning and guidance system of underactuated unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) for inspection of underwater infrastructure is described. Whether there are harbor submerged structures, cables, pipes, hydro-technical works, they all need to be checked in relation to structural ...

Development of an underwater riser inspection robot

Industrial Robot, 2013
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe a new multi‐sensor robotic system designed for riser, mooring lines and umbilical cables in situ underwater inspection. Due to the aggressive operation environment, such structures are susceptible to a broad spectrum of failure causes, such as aging, mechanical, chemical and thermal loads, hydrodynamic ...

Underwater ROV Software for Fish Cage Inspection

2021 44th International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO), 2021
This paper deals with the development of control software for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) as part of an automated fish cage inspection system in aquaculture. The ROV navigates autonomously around the fish cages streaming video to the topside computer that runs the algorithms for vertical rope detection.

New Technology in Underwater Inspection

SPE Offshore Europe, 1981
Abstract The importance of a high standard of inspection and maintenance of offshore structures is evident from considerations of safety of personnel, prevention of loss of production due to shutdowns, or pollution of the sea due to oil discharges.

Development of underwater inspection system for dam inspection

OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington, 2015
Deteriorations of social infrastructures have been progresses in Japan. To prevent accident due to its failing, effective inspection system is needed. We have been developing underwater inspection system for dam inspection which is called Dam Inspection System (DIS). It is composed by Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV).

Underwater Inspection Using ROV

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, 2021
Abstract ADNOC Drilling operates a growing fleet of 22 jack up units. These units require various inspections and tests to ensure that their integrity is maintained while conducting the drilling operations. One of these inspections is the underwater inspection which is required to be carried out twice every 5 years.

An underwater robot for pipe inspection

Proceedings Fourth Annual Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice, 2002
This paper describes the design of an autonomous mobile robot for use in the inspection of water-filled pipes. The design is based on ultrasonic communications, thus obviating the need for an umbilical cable. The control of the robot is distributed on a local area network which connects all the actuators and sensors. The robot has four legs, powered by
