marine environment as intermediate inputs; and 6) gain an advantage by being located

near the ocean.

Segments of the ocean economy

Underwater robots, key vehicles for deep-sea and large-scale underwater exploration,

enable ocean exploration and research, underwater infrastructure maintenance,

environmental monitoring and underwater photography. Underwater robots typically

integrate sensors, cameras and articulated manipulators to perform submerged

operations. Acoustic detection equipment provides seabed mapping and underwater

sensing data, and they are usually carried by remotely operated vehicles (ROV),

autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) or research vessels. Dredging equipment
