GRL Supplies ROV Simulator To CTC Marine Projects

摘要

Milton Keynes, England-based General Robotics Ltd. (GRL) has supplied a ROVolution simulator to CTC Marine Projects (Darlington, England). CTC is using ROVolution as a general tool to train pilots across all their remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and associated equipment, the company said. In one scenario, GRL has customized ROVolution to use CTC's VVR1 work-class ROV to observe the deployment of the AMP500 trenching plow, used for cutting trenches and laying pipes. In this case, once the plough is deployed to the seabed, the ROV pilot has to set up key components before performing a complete plough inspection to ensure it is ready and safe to start operations. The instructor can also choose to activate a hydraulic leak to simulate plausible real-world problems.
