INNOVATORY TECHNIQUES FOR AN AUTOMATED ROBOTIC SUBMERSIBLE SYSTEM [PHASE 3]

Obiettivo

Is to take a completely innovative approach to automated inspection and integrity control techniques as applied to offshore installations and to develop a robotic submersible system which meets these parameters. The main objective is to provide a more integrated and dedicated package than has been previously possible . As a minimum it was decided to take the radical approach that the vehicle should be controllable in all six degrees of freedom and to further make use of technology transferred from other sectors of industry.
Phase 2 work has undertaken the detailed design required for this project. This is due for completion by the end of March 1990. Results available at this time include the detail design, in the form of engineering drawings, calculations and tables of data, of the whole ROV system thus enabling Phase 3 work to continue to develop a technology demonstrator in the form of a working prototype system which will be complete in the second half of 1991 .
One of the main problems encountered during the design phase has been one of underwater manipulation. Whilst there exists a large range of underwater manipulator systems none of the available systems are considered accurate enough to deploy the necessary range of sensors and inspection equipment. This problem has been resolved by the transfer of technology from the industrial sector where acuracies and repeatabilities far in excess of the actual requirement are readily obtained. Whilst an outline design has been produced for the manipulator system a whole development programme will be executed during phase 3.
The robotic submersible system proposed has been configured for structural inspection and cleaning work and is referred to as a Structural Inspection Device or "SID".
SID is an astable or hydrobatic vehicle designed to be able to achieve combined roll/pitch angles of +/-180 deg and +/-90 deg. This gives the system a full six degree of freedom capability enabling it to be driven in any attitude in any direction. There is therefore a fundamental difference between this system and other more conventional systems, which traditionally have been designed to remain stable.
The project will enable a working system to be produced, work being undertaken in design, development, manufacture, assembly and final testing. The main scheduled phases being :
1. Conceptual Design - Complete
2. Detailed Design - Complete March 1990
3. Manufacture, Assembly and Tests - Current Phase
i. Manufacture/assembly (Timescale - 166 days)
ii. Factory testing (Timescale - 295 days)
iii. Shallow water inshore trials (Timescale - 60 days)
iv. Offshore trials (Timescale - 60 days)
v. Final report (Timescale - 60 days)
