NAUTILUS – SUBSEA ROBOTIC IMR SYSTEM NAUTILUS is a semi-autonomous subsea robotic system designed to perform integrated Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) of pipelines within a single mobilization. This solution replaces a significant portion of work traditionally carried out by divers and large vessels, enhancing safety while significantly reducing operational costs.
The integration of robotics and advanced data analytics enables accurate digital asset creation and supports predictive pipeline performance optimization.
