This paper presents the control framework under development within the ROBUST Horizon 2020 project, whose goal is the development of an autonomous robotic system for the exploration of deep-sea mining sites. After a bathymetric survey of the initial zone of interest, the robotized system selects a subarea deemed to have the most chances of containing a manganese nodule field and proceeds with a detailed...
Subsea interventions in the oil & gas industry as well as in other domains such as archaeology or geological surveys are demanding and costly activities for which robotic solutions are often deployed in addition or in substitution to human divers — contributing to risks and costs cutting. The operation of ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) nevertheless requires significant off-shore dedicated manpower...
