This paper describes the state-of-the art in the area of underwater robot manipulator
systems. A brief introduction is given on the use of manipulators in various offshore …

While commercially available AUVs are routinely used in survey missions, a new set of
applications exist which clearly demand intervention capabilities. The maintenance of …

Collecting in shallow water (water depth:~ 30 m) is an emerging field that requires robotics
for replacing human divers. Soft robots have several promising features (eg, safe interaction …

Deploying robots to explore venues that are inaccessible to humans, or simply inhospitable,
has been a longstanding ambition of scientists, engineers, and explorers across numerous …

In this paper, we investigate the potential of vision-based object detection algorithms in
underwater environments using several datasets to highlight the issues arising in different …

An underwater manipulator is essential for underwater robotic sampling and other service
operations. Conventional rigid body underwater manipulators generally required substantial …

Collecting seafood animals (such as sea cucumbers, sea echini, scallops, etc.) cultivated in
shallow water (water depth:~ 30 m) is a profitable and an emerging field that requires …

This paper addresses the novel design of an underwater manipulator with a lightweight
multilink structure and its free-floating autonomous operation. The concept design reduces …
