Underwater vehicle manipulator systems (UVMS) are increasingly popular platforms for performing subsea operations that require precision manipulation. While there is high demand for fully autonomous or even semi-autonomous systems, most UVMS still require human support teams. Developing new hardware and algorithms for autonomous underwater manipulation is challenging. Simulations do not capture th...
