温切斯特协会正在进行潜水机器人的研制。这一项目由英国能源部和多家石油、煤气公司资助。英国早已开发了无人遥控潜水器进行水下管道和采油平台的服务、检查维修,但许多水下任务仍需潜水员方能完成。在北海油、气田,许多潜水员工作在海水深度和水下作业时间达到临界值的条件下,极为艰辛。新的潜水机器人是新一代的无人遥控潜器,能在更恶劣的条件下模拟潜水员的动作、执行任务。
The Winchester Institute is working on the development of submersible robots. This project was funded by the British Department of Energy and several oil and gas companies. The United Kingdom has long developed unmanned remotely operated submersibles for underwater pipelines and production platforms, inspections and maintenance, but many underwater tasks still require divers to complete. In North Sea oil and gas fields, many divers work extremely hard under the conditions of seawater depth and underwater operating time reaching critical values. The new submersible robot is a new generation of unmanned remote control submersibles that can simulate the diver’s actions and perform tasks under even harsher conditions.
