Talking about money
1 day of operations with a working class ROV :
1 day of geophysical survey :
Air France black blox recovery :
vessel for geophysical survey (from design to launch):
100÷300 k€
200 M€
30 M€
1÷3 M€
Schilling Titan arm : 400 k€
1 day of operations with a research vessel : 15 k€

54

ROV of the future ?
next two slides by C.Canale (Total consultant) at the DexROV KoM meeting

Autonomy and advanced control
 The ROVs of the future will have increased intelligent autonomous behavior and will
use logic driven circuitry for routine tasks like turning valves, pulling and installing
flying leads, inspecting assets for integrity, installing nodes. They will also posses
better sensors, more dexterous manipulators and tooling along with thin fiber optic
umbillicals, that decrease the systems overall weight
 The challenge here is for the non-umbilical ROV system to allow for the functions
that the umbilical controlled ROV systems have. Deepwater docking systems for
autonomous Hybrid ROVs are also in the works, as these would allow charging
batteries, uploads of data and downloads of new command parameters without
bringing the HROV’s to the surface
