Use of robotics for subsea field developments became common practice during the last few decades. The development of unmanned aerial vehicles in conjunction with Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud and Edge computing, the fast-evolving technologies, are opening new horizons for construction monitoring and supervision and facility inspection, maintenance and repair activities. This paper presents the results of TechnipFMC's latest investigations and tests to develop the use of advanced Unmanned Autonomous Systems (UAS's) to leverage the operational performance of some of its activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
