Modern architecture: A house deconstructed Mark Jarzombek and Vikramaditya Prakash, Co-Founders of the Office (Un)Certainty Research (a collaboration dedicated to rethinking modern architecture), take us on a journey house. Professor Prakash University Washington MIT are co-founders Uncertainty Research. This is architecture in context. The office investigates different aspects architectural production at planetary scale. They recently studied just-completed, Seattle, asking simple question:...
Reliable power supply, precise position determination and effective communication are the key requirements for strategic autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) involved in long duration scientific missions, search operations when operated as a swarm. The paper presents challenging range of AUV developed deep water, Polar intervention applications; demanding technical AUV; reliability modeling done on lithium-ion batteries to identify redundancy achieving near-zero failures; navigation model...
This paper details the design, development and qualification of a 500 m depth rated Remotely Operable Vehicle PROVe 500, intended for carrying out scientific research in shallow waters challenging Polar Regions. The vehicle with dimensions 0.96 × 0.61 0.63 weighing 175 kg air, is designed speed 3 knots at an electric power input 5 kW. which powered by 300 V DC through length neutrally buoyant electro-optic umbilical communicates surface console redundant fiber optic cores umbilical. A real...
Underwater communication has a range of applications including autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and remotely operated (ROV) docking in the offshore industry. As available acoustic limited data rate can, i.e., up to tens kbps for distances ranging kilometers hundreds few meters. Whereas wireless optical capable providing higher short can be viable alternative applications. In this paper, main focus is understand effect environment condition different water types on links that influence...
A deepwater work class remotely operable vehicle (ROV) namely ROSUB 6000 is developed at National Institute of ocean technology, Chennai, India. ROSUB6000 an unmanned, free swimming underwater that has six degrees freedom. ROUSB system controlled from a technology demonstration vessel (TDV) Sagar Nidhi. Launching and retrieval system, power house control console containers, umbilical cable direction changing pulley arrangement are parts the deck system. subsea comprises Tether management...
Coral reef biodiversity in South Andaman Islands, India was studied using indigenously developed remotely operated underwater vehicle, PROVe. The vehicle manoeuvred coral habitats navigational aids to record faunal assemblages along with spatio-temporal spectral irradiance characteristics coupled surface radiance, water temperature, salinity and visuals by high-definition camera devices. PROVe-based observations the outcome from scientific payloads indicated that it will be a new additional...
In India, scientific investigations of ocean basins have been in progress for more than five decades using indirect and direct measurement devices.These studies were aimed at resource identification, ecological, palaeo-oceanographic palaeo-climatic research.To cater to the need community, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) rated 6000 m (ROSUB 6000) 500 (PROVe-500) operational depths developed National Institute Ocean Technology, MoES, Chennai.This article reports design considerations unmanned...
Gas hydrates are considered to be one of the promising future sources energy. The amount methane sequestered in gas is enormous. Estimates show that stored form gas-hydrates order ~1900 trillion cubic meters within Indian Exclusive Economic Zone. Under aegis Ministry Earth Sciences, Government India, National Institute Ocean Technology (NIOT), Chennai involved developing suitable technologies for exploration and extraction methodologies marine settings India. Studies carried out using 6000 m...

Suction piles and / or anchors as they are interchangeably used, find widespread application for mooring of exploratory vessels in deep water depths due their ease installation such depths. Presently applicability shallow waters is finding increasing station keeping barges, tugs, small boats platforms investigations, test equipment, buoys etc.Suction subjected to loads varying from horizontal pullout/mooring vertical uplift during movement barges/offshore which moored them. In waters, angle...
The deep-water manned submersible MATSYA 6000 is being developed by NIOT for carrying out scientific exploration and studies. Due to the human presence in submersible, operations during mission have be carried safely reliably amidst hardware, software network failures. A fault-tolerant architecture required control monitoring system meet IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level standards also comply with classification rules certification of submersibles. In this paper, failure analysis safety...
