Can humans be replaced by robots when it comes to offshore operations? Unmanned watercraft are increasingly being developed, but experts say their goal is to create more alternatives, not eliminate options for humans.

Otter, an unmanned ship from the Norwegian company Maritime Robotics, floats above the surface of the sea, maneuvering through its sensors.

It inspects the seabed gathering information that can then be used for environmental and construction projects.

"This is an unmanned, all-electric underwater vehicle that, using sonar technology, collects data from the seabed and combines it with GPS data so we can see the seabed," explains Thomas Rygh , Product Manager of Maritime Robotics.

With the development of such robots and unmanned ships, companies will no longer need to send humans for such operations.

"Previously, it took big ships and heavy equipment to collect this kind of data. It required a captain, crew and a long time, as well as considerable expense. Now it just needs an operator who can run it remotely, collecting and analyzing all the data," says Mr Rygh.

The Otter was one of the ships presented in March in London at the "Oceanology International" conference where the latest ocean technology tools are exhibited.

And autonomous ships are increasingly being seen in circulation. Greensea IQ has been producing such tools for 18 years, during which time the demand for them has been growing.

The Bayonet robots that this company produces are designed to be used in the unstable conditions of the water area near the coastline where the waves are strong.

But does the development of this technology mean that humans will be replaced by robotics? Not necessarily.

"The concept that robots will replace us in our daily activities is science fiction. Robots and unmanned vehicles are changing the nature of our work, creating the possibility for new ways of working. Robots are not taking our jobs, they are creating more jobs jobs, more ways to collect data, more ways to explore the oceans," says Ben Kinnaman, CEO of Greensea IQ.

He is even convinced that this technology means that humans will explore the deep sea in ways that would be impossible without its help.

"We've made more progress in the last two years in our knowledge of the ocean, of climate change and its impact on the oceans, than in the last two decades, and that's thanks to the ability to compare. It's a wonderful thing," says Mr. Kinnaman.

The smaller the sensors become, the smaller the size of underwater robots. Such is the case of a vehicle from a Chinese company that can be controlled virtually and is the size of a small dog.

The company says that the aim is for him to act alongside the Palombars.

"I would say that they don't replace divers, but they make their job easier, safer and more efficient," says Dennis He, Sales Director of Chasing Innovation Technology.

And this technology is becoming much more affordable, which means that large international companies are not the only ones who can invest in such products.

If in the past their cost would reach 1 million dollars, now companies want to reduce it and in the future use them for missions that pose a danger to people.
