Description
Developing new methodology to provide multipurpose dexterous manipulation capabilities for intervention operations in unknown, unstructured and underwater environments
There is an ever increasing demand for technology which provides autonomous assistance in underwater scenarios, ranging from maritime rescue to marine bapplications, and including specific tasks in offshore industries. TRIDENT proposes a new methodology for multipurpose underwater intervention tasks with diverse potential applications such as underwater archaeology, coastal and ocean observatories, oceanography and offshore industries, going beyond present-day methods typically based on manned and/or purpose-built systems. The TRIDENT project brings together research skills specific to the marine environments in navigation and mapping for underwater robotics, multi-sensory perception and a range of control techniques relating to intelligent control architectures, vehicle-manipulator systems and dexterous manipulation.
