Underwater Technologies
Underwater projects typically employ a variety of equipment including vehicles ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles), USVs (Unmanned Surface Vessels), sensors for detection and navigation, such as sonars (acoustic imaging), position tracking systems, physical and chemical measurement devices, and intervention tooling such as manipulators, cutters or cleaning tools. A lot of today's technologies have been designed to go places and do things that are too risky for divers. The latest design trends have been to make the operation of these systems easier for people whose primary job is not necessarily underwater full-time, such as law enforcement officers who use these complex systems infrequently for tasks such drowning victim and evidence search and recovery. For their benefit, designers are "engineering the talent out of the system", to reduce the training requirements for pilots and automate processes like following a search pattern to ensure complete coverage of an area. |
