The TANDEM coordinated research project aims to use a heterogeneous marine multi-robot system, composed of an ASV and a bi-manual I-AUV to address complex underwater intervention tasks targeting the IMR (Inspection Maintenance and Repair) of offshore eolic parks and fish farms, with a level of autonomy not previously demonstrated. To achieve this, the project must address several objectives such as the design of multimodal remote user interfaces, advanced control methods, multi-vehicle coordination strategies, multimodal communication, mapping of complex underwater structures or defect detection and monitoring operations, among others. The complexity of TANDEM requires a multidisciplinary team including mechanical, electronic and computer engineers, as well as in AI, telecommunications and mathematics. To cope with this complexity, the project has been split into three sub-projects according to the expertise of each partner and the facilities they have available.
The main added value of coordination in TANDEM is achieving the generation of new technological solutions ready for transfer and, last but not least, the continuity of a fruitful partnership between UJI, UdG and UIB, which have been working together in six national and one European project, since 2008, in the area of this proposal.
