Ovaj odjel zanima se za teme iz područja teorije i primjene robotike i automatizacije. Pod robotikom se ovdje prvenstveno podrazumijeva zanimanje za inteligentne strojeve i sustave korištene, na primjer, u istraživanju okoliša (podmorja, svemira), pružanju usluga ljudima, ili u naprednoj proizvodnji. Pod automatizacijom se prvenstveno podrazumijeva zanimanje za primjenu automatizacijskih metoda i postupaka u tvornicama, uredima, kućanstvima ili, na primjer, u transportnim sustavima s ciljem povećanja njihove djelotvornosti i produktivnosti.

Abstract:
The MMRRC have recently completed ROV operations using a work-class SMD Quasar in a flooded quarry in North Tipperary, Ireland. The ROV ops were the first in-water trailing of new systems for close quarter underwater automated manipulator tasks. The ROV Ops contained three ocean engineering/technology objectives which are particularly relevant to UL research within the SFI Research Centre, Marine Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI). The MMRRC research team is specifically addressing the need for ROV systems capable of performing Inspection, Repair & Maintenance (IRM) on subsea infrastructure in harsh sea conditions. The engineering objectives included:
· Advanced Manipulator Controls
· Smart Navigation & Pose Estimation
· Pressure and Motion Reference Sensor
The trials were carried out in depths of 35m in collaboration with the Marine Institute in November 2016. The invited talk will describe the operations from inception to execution and will detail the various tasks completed over the 3 days of in-water trials.

CV:
Gerard Dooly has worked extensively in the optical fibre sensors and marine robotics research centres at UL since the completion of his PhD in 2008. His research interests include optical fibre sensors, differential optical absorption spectroscopy, advanced control systems, underwater robotic engineering and advanced sonar operations and processing. He is focused on the design and development of underwater robotics and has engaged in numerous offshore maritime operations and survey missions both here in Ireland and on the continent. Some of his recent research topics include environmental monitoring, subsea event triggered sensing platforms, miniature daughter-ROV’s, anti-mine countermeasure ops and remote vehicles for incident response. He also has a keen interest in underwater shipwreck discovery, survey and identification and has participated in many deep water diving expeditions worldwide. He is a qualified closed circuit trimix rebreather diver and has successfully dived and identified newly discovered shipwrecks to depths of up to 135 metres.
