Abstract:
A two-part, selectively dockable robotic system having counterbalanced stabilization during performance of an operation on an underwater target structure is provided. The robotic system includes a first underwater robotic vehicle that is sized and shaped to at least partially surround the underwater target structure. A second underwater robotic vehicle is sized and shaped to at least partially surround the underwater target structure and selectively dock with the first underwater robotic vehicle. The first and second robotic vehicles include complimentary docking mechanisms that permit the vehicles to selectively couple to each other with the underwater target structure disposed at least partially therebetween. One robot includes a tool that can act upon the target structure and the other robot includes a stabilization module that can act upon the target structure in an opposite manner in order to counterbalance the force of the tool.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the docking mechanism of one of the first and second underwater robotic vehicles includes a latch and the docking mechanism of the other of the first and second underwater robotic vehicles includes a protrusion, wherein the step of coupling the first and second underwater robotic vehicles to each other comprises operating the latch to change positions so as to engage and disengage the protrusion.
