Abstract
The authors describe the ARM project, the remit of which was to produce an ROV and manipulator system capable of the most difficult manipulative tasks. The result will be a wholly new kind of sub-sea intervention system capable of achieving advanced IMR (inspection, maintenance and repair) tasks. It is designed to replace divers in 50 - 300m water depths, and also permit operation in much deeper water where diver intervention is impractical. In the paper the authors look at the main design considerations, the control systems, and briefly outline future work
