Abstract
The feasibility study on the application of advanced robotics (AR) to underwater work was undertaken by UEG, the Offshore and Underwater Engineering Group of CIRIA, between May 1986 and July 1987 on behalf of the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). It was one of a number of DTI studies in separate application areas forming part of a nationally coordinated initiative to develop UK capabilities in AR through collaborative ventures. For the purpose of the initiative, the term ‘advanced robotics’ covers devices which are independently mobile and are able to make decisions about how to proceed with the tasks required.
