“…Results from hardware‐in‐the‐loop simulation show that the controller is able to track the reference while rejecting external disturbances. Similar studies 52–54 show that the onset of advanced work‐class ROVs coupled with robust control algorithms has resulted in their increased usage across different marine applications. The ROV prototypes Kaxan and PoseiBot are depicted in Figures 9 and 10, respectively.…”

Marine operations required to transfer technicians and equipment represent a significant proportion of the total cost of offshore wind. The profile of sites being considered for floating offshore wind farms (FOWFs), e.g., further from the shore and in harsher environments, indicates that these costs need to be assessed by taking into account the maintenance requirements and restricted weather windows. There is an immediate need to investigate the potential use of robotic systems in the wind farm's operations and maintenance (O&M) activities, to reduce the need for costly manned visits. The use of robotic systems can be critical, not only to replace repetitive activities and bring down the levelised cost of energy but also to reduce the health and safety risks by supporting human operators in performing the desired inspections.This paper provides a review of the state of the art in the applications of robotics for O&M of FOWFs. Emerging technology trends and associated challenges and opportunities are highlighted, followed by an outline of the agenda for future research in this domain.

“…Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are playing an important role in underwater detection, marine resources development and other fields [1][2][3] . According to the weight or size, ROVs can be divided into four categories: (1) observation-class ROVs; (2) light-sized ROVs; (3) medium-sized ROVs; and (4) heavy-sized ROVs [4][5][6][7] .…”

This paper presents the development and testing of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The outstanding ability of this ROV lies in its underwater hovering positioning control. At the same time, it is equipped with a seven-function underwater electric operation manipulator and the master-slave control mode is adopted. These are obvious advantages over other medium-sized ROVs. The control hardware architecture and control software architecture of this ROV are also provided. Finally, the test results of the depth trajectory tracking control, heading trajectory tracking control and hover control in the lake environment are presented and analyzed.
