This snake robot will fix pipelines on the ocean floor CNN 3/4/2021 By Adrian Lydon, CNN Business © Eelume Subsea Intervention The snake-like Eelume robot can be docked underwater for months at a time. The deep-sea oil and gas industry has a vast and costly infrastructure to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipeline must be installed, inspected and repaired. Now, cutting-edge underwater drones and robots are being developed that could make the work safer, cheaper and less polluting. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot kitted out with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a docking station at depths up to 500 meters (547 yards) for six months, without being brought back to the surface.
