Abstract

The growth of industrial activities in marine environment motivates the innovation and adaptation of different technologies. The development of these installations requires the use of specific devices and tools. In this line, the use of autonomous marine brings an outstanding support in several fields. One of the most common uses of them are the monitorization and mapping works in high deeps or complex situations. The remote control by the operators supposes a great advantage to avoid personal or economic losses. However, these vehicles present some deficits in other fields as the power endurance, communications or versatility configuration. The current trends in mobility devices motivate the improvement of these points. ENDURUNS Project develops an innovative green energy system for the offshore inspections with the aim to use renewable resources. This article exposes the main advancements developed in this project regarding the current technologies in different fields. It will be exposed a resume of the novel vehicles powered systems employed. Also, it is presented the approach for the communications systems developed, given the implementation importance of the real-time remote-control. These improvements will place this project in the forefront of the marine survey technologies.
