summer 2020 and research to improve it and apply it to new applications is ongoing, Verlume added. Credit: VerlumeDr. Mark Post, lecturer in electronic engineering at the University of York said: “Through the use of innovative electronics, actuation, networking technology and additive manufacturing techniques, we have been able to develop a modular robot that can move very precisely in challenging offshore environments. The collaborative contributions of many partners have been instrumental in creating a practical platform to further develop robotic technologies in this field.”Verlume'

and has recently joined forces with Equinor, SINTEF and Gassco, with Norwegian National Research Council funding and support from part-owner-incubator Kongsberg Innovation to make this happen. Just like the composite repairs, the process would be done inside the Nautilus platform using additive manufacturing techniques to rebuild damaged metal structures in-situ. “It’s like building the equivalent of a steel clamp directly on to the pipeline with off-the-shelf materials and without the waiting time associated with acquiring a clamp,” says Carlsen.“Normal welding usually involves

well as archaeological studies are also common commercial applications. Today the survey AUV is not just accepted, but expected, in many maritime applications.With survey AUVs becoming commonplace the emerging frontier for AUVs includes novel concepts enabled by modern electronics, design, and manufacturing techniques. In QinetiQ North America’s SEAScout we see a compact, simple approach. Teleynde’s Gavia offers modularity for payload and system components, and the Riptide UUV family leverages open source approaches to be especially user-friendly.QinetiQ North America’s SEAScout is a
