and Marine Institute (MI), School of Ocean Technology.The primary function of the Sub-Atlantic Mohican ROV system will be to support ocean research, while it will also be used for pilot technician training. For ocean research operations, the ROV will be required to carry a payload skid for navigation, equipment and sensors, as well as be capable of manipulation and intervention.The Mohican is equipped for inspection tasks, non-destructive testing, (NDT), light intervention, pipeline/cable/seabed survey, diver assist/safety, harbour and port security, scientific survey and data collection, renewable

. Imotus is being developed for visual and non-destructive testing, e.g. ultrasonic thickness (UT), inspection work in confined spaces, such as inside the concrete legs of oil platforms.The unit is quasi-spherical, 0.8m-diameter, with cameras (HD video and still), UT sensor, cleaning brush and navigation equipment, including a low-resolution sensor for mapping. Subsea lidar is also planned. Unlike traditional AUVs or ROVs, Imotus’ primary mode is to hover relative to something, using its inertial navigation system and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms. Control is based on
