Bathyscaphic Robotic Floor Thickness Monitoring of Hazardous Liquid Storage Tanks - NautilUS

根据美国石油协会（API）行业标准的要求，对石油化工储罐进行定期检查，特别是对储罐底板进行腐蚀稀释，NautilUS深海机器人将降低检查所涉及的成本、危险以及环境、健康和安全风险。同时，由于机器人NautilUS平台的独特特性，将克服现有机器人解决方案的不足。该项目的产出将导致一种产品，将增加3个英国组织的营业额和盈利能力；RS Components， innovotek Ltd和sononomatic Ltd。

The NautilUS bathyscaphic robot will reduce the costs, danger and environmental and health and safety risks involved in inspections required by the American Petroleum Institute (API) industry standard for petrochemical storage tank periodic inspections and in particular for corrosion thinning of the tank floor. At the same time, the shortcomings of existing robotic solutions will be overcome due to unique characteristics of the robotic NautilUS platform. The output of the project will lead to a product that will increase the turnover and profitability of the 3 UK organisations; RS Components, Innvotek Ltd and Sonomatic Ltd.
