As the offshore industry moves steadily into deeper water,
and the use of man and manned vehicles becomes increasingly dangerous,
expensive and impracticable, so the tools of remote intervention
have to be developed and exploited. These proceedings attempt
to promote these technologies, and are applicable to a variety
of industries, including hydrocarbon exploration companies, defence
industries, deep ocean mineral exploitation, and salvage operations.
The volume contains papers written by specialists in remote
intervention and robotic technology, who analyse the state of
the current systems. The authors look ahead to see what other
technologies can be utilised, emphasising what the requirements
of industry are for the next millennium under the sea. It contains
370 pages and 173 figures and tables.
