Abstract :
This paper describes an adaptation proposed for advanced robots in hostile and difficult environments, such as in some deep-sea operations for the offshore oil production. Those adaptation in robots, for subsea work has now made it possible to envisage inspection, repair and maintenance operations considered to be impossible in the past, thereby opening up new market opportunities.<>
