Visualisation, Simulation and Control in Subsea Operations

摘要

Fugro General Robotics Limited (FGRL), based in Milton Keynes, is a highly experienced provider of subsea visualisation and simulation systems. Its core product is DeepWorks, which is available in different configurations to provide an ROV trainer, an engineering simulator and a live operations visualisation tool. The DeepWorks ROV pilot training simulator uses dynamic simulation, with hydraulic and electrical libraries to reproduce the actual subsea conditions that an ROV pilot must work with. DeepWorks brings fully force-modelled physics simulation to subsea and ROV simulators, so that any object in the world model feels and behaves like the real thing. It provides 'touch and feel' interactive simulation so the simulator pilot gets the same tactile response as if he were actually using a tool to move or adjust a subsea component in the field.
