OceanRINGS是爱尔兰利默里克大学移动与海洋机器人研究中心（MMRRC）在过去十年中为海底作业开发的一套智能技术。应用于小型rov， OceanRINGS技术可以实现远程存在：远程控制中心（虚拟控制室）通过互联网实时控制的长续航机器人系统，用于海上海底油气设施和海洋可再生能源设备的日常检查。利用微型rov进行远程监控，可以对海底结构进行更定期（甚至连续）的检查，包括天文台、海洋可再生能源（MRE）设备和海上油气设施（井口、管道等），并有助于早期发现异常和缺陷。海上油气节省的大部分成本是防止生产主干道（井下油管、管道和生产船）发生故障。生产损失造成的经济损失远远超过了与维护相关的成本。如果OceanRINGS智能技术可以用于大规模的商业和工业应用，那么它可以大大节省时间、维护和运营成本（20%或更多）。本文描述了远程呈现概念背后的主要思想和动机。
The OceanRINGS is a suite of smart technologies for subsea operations developed over the last ten years at the Mobile & Marine Robotics Research Centre (MMRRC), University of Limerick, Ireland. Applied to mini ROVs, OceanRINGS technologies enable remote presence: long endurance robotic systems for routine inspection of offshore subsea oil & gas installations and marine renewable energy devices controlled from a remote control centre (Virtual Control Cabin) through the Internet in real time. Remote presence with mini ROVs enable more regular (even continuous) inspections of subsea structures, including observatories, marine renewable energy (MRE) devices and offshore oil & gas installations (wellheads, pipelines etc.) and facilitates early stage detection of abnormalities and defects. The majority of the cost-savings for offshore oil & gas is the prevention of failure in one of the production arteries (downhole tubing, pipelines and production vessels). Money lost through lost production far outweighs the costs associated with maintenance. The OceanRINGS smart technologies could lead to significant savings in time, maintenance and operational costs (20% or more), if they become available for wide scale commercial and industrial use. This paper describes the main idea and motivation behind the Remote Presence concept.
