A robot submersible about to be lowered into the North Sea where it recently underwent successful trials. It has been developed to work on the seabed to a depth of 1500ft (460 m), and to steer itself automatically along buried pipelines to find blockages and breakages. It is equipped with a pair of manipulators, two television cameras, and a still photograph camera. It is controlled by a computer from the mother ship.
