Navigating underwater autonomy

While we'll still need work class ROVs for some time, there's a lot of new technology entering this space. It's supported by, and is in support of, increasing levels of automation; doing things smarter, creating digital twins or future oilfields.

These moves have not appeared out of the blue. There has been a lot of background work in this space for many years, from the development of electric ROVs to the systems that control them. But, it's the last 12 to 18 moths that ave finally seen contracts for the new type of subsea model, resident ROV systems.
