Abstract:In this study, the dynamics of tether cables (TCs) that connect a surface ship and a walking robotic vehicle on the seabed are numerically investigated. The main aim of this study is to develop a reliable prediction model for the dynamic behavior of TCs attached to a seabed walking robot. This system consists of a surface ship, underwater manned seabed walking robot (UMSWR), TC, and winch.

Dear Colleagues,The demand for ocean exploration down to the deep seafloor (e.g., ocean resource exploration and ocean observations) has promoted innovations in underwater technology. As most underwater vehicles are unable to operate on the seafloor and even have difficulty reaching there at current stage, subsea robotics are urgently required to be deployed and operate on the seafloor.
