Smart and Networking UnderWAter Robots in Cooperation Meshes (SWARMs)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

Nowadays, the major part of offshore operations is done by divers in dangerous missions. Since their number is limited, the dependency on their work represents a real threat to the offshore industry. The extended use of unmanned underwater vehicles (AUVs/ROVs) could solve this problem but since they are usually tailor-made for a specific task and difficult to operate their deployment is very expen ...
