Search and testing of robotic solutions for cleaning and condition monitoring at Prirazlomnaya OIRFP

Background. This article provides an overview and testing of existing robotic solutions, an understanding of the level of technological accessibility for the research area. A robotic solution is a device, mechanism or method for carrying out work with a high level of autonomy and with minimal human involvement in work in a hazardous area. In this case, we are talking about remote-controlled solutions, as well as completely self-managed solutions. Aim. The purpose of the study is to analyze the design and regulatory documentation that regulates the study area of work, to identify the main technical and legislative barriers and restrictions on the use of robotic solutions, as well as to conduct tests in Kingston boxes of the Prirazlomnaya OIRFP. Materials and methods. In this study, using rational-logical methods of scientific knowledge and the empirical method, namely interviewing experts in the field of robotization and maritime law, it was possible to determine and structure the information received. Results. The implementation of this goal made it necessary to analyze the market for various robotic means of local cleaning and inspection, to form a list of the most promising solutions, to rank solutions based on the evaluation matrix, to conduct technical and competitive negotiations with manufacturers on the topic of readiness to participate in pilot testing at the Prirazlomnaya OIRFP. Conclusions. In the course of this project, an extensive analysis of the market of robotic solutions was carried out, pilot tests were carried out, an act was received from RMRS and proved in practice during pilot testing in Kingston boxes with water intake pipelines and in the water area of the Kola Bay, a hypothesis about the applicability and feasibility, the usefulness of using remotely controlled underwater of uninhabited vehicles in the scope of the survey at the Prirazlomnaya OIRFP.
