Description for Underwater Robots
Hardback. The deep oceans range between 19000 to 36000 feet. At a mere 33-foot depth, the pressure is twice the normal atmospheric pressure of 29.4 psi. This obstacle, compounded with other complex issues due to the unstructured and hazardous environment, makes it difficult to travel in the ocean. This title covers the progress in underwater robotics. Editor(s): Yuh, Junku; Ura, Tamaki; Bekey, George A. Num Pages: 252 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TJFM1; UY. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 276 x 203 x 16. Weight in Grams: 832.
All life came from sea but all robots were born on land. The vast majority of both industrial and mobile robots operate on land, since the technology to allow them to operate in and under the ocean has only become available in recent years. A number of complex issues due to the unstructured, hazardous undersea environment, makes it difficult to travel in the ocean while today's technologies allow humans to land on the moon and robots to travel to Mars . . Clearly, the obstacles to allowing robots to operate in a saline, aqueous, and pressurized environment are formidable. Mobile ... Read more

Reviews for Underwater Robots
`This is a valuable reference book for anyone interested in, or researching into, Underwater Robotics. The papers are well written and do not use excessive amounts of technical jargon, thus being accessible to the reader with a firm understanding of control engineering and mathematics.' Sensor Review, 19:3 (1999)
