Field and service applications - Exploring deep sea by teleoperated robot - An Underwater Parallel Robot with High Navigation Capabilities

Visual support system for remote control by adaptive ROI selection of monitoring robot

“…Autonomous operation has already been implemented in posture control and route planning; however, overall human control remains unreplaceable [1,2]. The most common applications for teleoperated robots include missions under unstructured or unknown environments such as searchand-rescue operations at disaster sites [3], deep sea or space exploration [4], and dealing with radioactive waste.…”

Kinematic analysis of a novel 3-DOF actuation redundant parallel manipulator using artificial intelligence approach

“…Generally, it comprises two platforms, which are connected by joints and legs acting in parallel [1]. Nowadays, many applications of parallel robots can be found in various industrial fields, such as manufacturing production configurations [2], micro-motion parallel robot for medical applications [3], assembly robot in automotive applications [4], deep sea exploration [5], and so on. More recently, they have been used in the development of high precision machine tools [6].…”

Kinematic analysis of an Underwater Parallel Robot

“…More recently, a different concept of underwater robotics design, that provides thrust-vectoring, has appeared: underwater robots with parallel mechanical structure [6], [7]. In [7] an underwater robot, whose parallel structure allows controlling the position and orientation of a thruster, was presented.…”

“…In [7] an underwater robot, whose parallel structure allows controlling the position and orientation of a thruster, was presented. This type of mechanism provides higher maneuverability and thrust-vectoring by controlling the geometric configuration of the underwater vehicle.…”
