Kinematic design and analysis of a 7 degree-of-freedom dual-stage inspection manipulator for dexterous subsea applications

This paper describes the design of a 7 degree-of-freedom (d.o.f) manipulator for underwater inspection applications. The functional requirements of an underwater manipulator for subsea inspection are discussed and the desired performance requirements identified. The inspection process of a weld join...
