THE EMBEDDED ELECTRONICS AND SOFTWARE OF DORIS OFFSHORE ROBOT

Abstract DORIS is a mobile robot for remote supervision, diagnosis, and data acquisition on offshore facilities. The proposed system is composed of a rail-guided robot capable of carrying different sensors through the inspected area. This paper presents a general overview of the robot, and a description of the developed embedded electronics, power supply system and software architecture. The results with teleoperated navigation validate the concepts considered so far and rise several challenges for future works.
