Tecnomare develops and consolidates know-how and skills in innovative technologies, applicable in the field of oil and gas exploration, production and transportation.

Tecnomare has been present for many years in the Space Market, where the extreme environmental conditions are analogous with those of the sea. Tecnomare’s designs and developments in this sector includes: automated service devices; robotic arms and automated instruments; robotic control software (position, force, based on vision); vision computer systems; ground samplers and core barrels; man-machine interfaces; in-water models at zero resultant of weight/thrust.

Tecnomare has accomplished its objective to transfer technologies from the space market to marine one, throughout the years. Some fine examples where this kind of technologies transfer was performed are hostile scenarios of oil production in very deep waters, or measurements and operations in drilling or production wells in up to 5000 meters underwater. In those cases, design approaches and technologies that were already applied in the space sector, determined a great advantage in the implementation of systems that guarantee high reliability although operating remotely, in high temperatures and in reduces space and mass.

Automation and Robotics skills in the subsea environment include: telemanipulation and computer vision systems, man-machine interfaces, ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicles), Autonomous Undersea Vehicles (AUV) and monitoring stations in deep waters.
