Subsea IMR Moves Robotic
onboard intelligence. Operators will use only high-level supervisory control to check system status and issue mission commands. This concept challenges both technology and business conventions.Aquanaut’s transforming capabilities are impressive mechanical developments. But the sensing and software engineering developments are equally important. Training a robotic system to perceive, understand, and engage a complex undersea environment is a significant challenge. Presuming the engineers succeed, the business challenges arise. Aquanaut is envisioned as an IMR on-call service, providing the necessary
