euronews (in English)

Those creating robots for the marine industry say they will create opportunities for humans rather than take them away.

00:02 Previously, you'd have to have a big vessel and big,

00:22 chunky equipment to gather this data.

00:26 You'd have to have a pilot, more crew,

00:30 and it's going to be time-consuming, expensive.

00:33 And we've narrowed that down to a single operator sitting

00:38 at home behind his desk, steering and mapping

00:43 all of the data.

00:50 The Azagh-Azamov concept of robots taking over our jobs

01:06 and sort of planning us in day-to-day activities,

01:09 it's science fiction.

01:11 What robots and autonomy gives us

01:14 is it gives us new jobs to do, new ways of working.

01:18 Robots aren't going to take our jobs.

01:20 Robots are creating more jobs, more ways to collect data,

01:25 more ways to work in the ocean.

01:27 So robots aren't going to take our jobs.

01:30 They're just going to give us more ways to understand

01:32 the ocean and work in the ocean and combat climate change.

01:36 They're going to give us ways of doing things

01:38 that we could never do on our own.

01:46 I would say the divers now, they can do a lot of stuff.

01:59 They've been doing it for many, many years.

02:02 The robots coming in--

02:03 so for example, one of our robots,

02:06 we can attach 20-plus accessories.

02:09 You have a selection of accessories

02:11 you can choose from.

02:12 Let's say for sand table research or for environmental,

02:15 we got water samplers or sensors for that situation.

02:20 For search and rescues, you can use sonars, imaging sonars,

02:24 to detect bodies.

02:25 So for various views.

02:27 I would say not to replace the diver,

02:30 but to help the divers do their job more easier, safer,

02:35 and more efficient.
