L The test was conducted at the University of Girona has a pool suitable for experimentation in underwater robotics. During the meeting, researchers also tested the performance of the three parties that form part of the experiment: robotic arm, which perfects the UJI; the vehicle, which works at the University of Girona, and computer vision techniques, developed by the Universitat de les Illes Balears. ![[Img #1678]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uXdq536cIUu-yUSaqPz9L00soK0BNfMJdMofB2zCeejtLwKf5rVvZ0IJSam7dDSOqUnj7u_jUEYvop2Gvv0FgNmJrkaOy0K518p2IFdy8gtm_Wnrwm4MFRUwVy05Mmv3jvww=s0-d "Petroglifo de la cueva Lene Hara.

In the first part of the experiment the vehicle in which the robot was anchored down to the bottom of the pool to survey the area using computer vision techniques and mapped. Then he said the object to be recovered (black box), and the vehicle with the robotic arm plunged again sought the object with the characteristics described above, picked it up and brought to the surface.
Right now, the first application to seek more 40 researchers and research involved, is the recovery of black boxes with this system of autonomous action, but some potential application scenarios that could benefit from this project would achieve certain tasks associated with marine biology, performing routine practices such as taking samples (eg rock, water or sand), at permanent observatories in lifesaving, health care tasks to the diving equipment such as lighting in a particular area or assistance in using any tool, to name a few.
RAUVI Project: Reconfigurable AUV for intervention is financed 530,000 euros by the Ministry of Science and Innovation English, within the VI National Plan for Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation 2008-2011. Each of the participating universities is responsible for a specific subproject. The UJI is responsible for the mechanical integration of the robotic arm, the visual tracking of the object of interest, the control arm for handling tasks and the user interface to specify these tasks.
Universitat de Girona is responsible for generating the navigation systems and mechatronics underwater vehicle where the robot is docked. Universitat de les Illes Balears is responsible for assisting in planning and guiding the movements necessary to achieve autonomous robot navigation, using advanced computer vision.
All these experiments will form the basis for a demonstration to the experts of the European Commission on 5 May 2011, during the annual review of the TRIDENT European project, also coordinated by the Public University of Castellón.

The achievement of a project such efforts could reduce the economic and human resources operations inherent in the submarine would not be necessary as support vessels or umbilical cords, nor ROV pilots charged under conditions teleoperate undoubtedly involve fatigue and stress, thus also would enable the conduct of operations impossible for teleoperated systems and require a continuous connection through umbilical cable to a support ship, which affects vehicle dynamics and limits the travel distance the robot.
