This work describes the new Unmanned Marine Vehicle e-URoPe developed by CNR-ISSIA. This Remotely Operated Vehicle is realized using the most innovative technical capabilities in order to achieve a fexible structure, adequate to withstand external impacts. The peculiar characteristics of the vehicle, on which is based the design concept, are: easiness of construction, facility of re-confguration and fexibility. Furthermore the vehicle could be completely modifed without big eforts in terms of money and time. The vehicle can be equipped with diferent types of sensors in order to make it fexible and adaptable to various applications such as sampling of water or objects, underwater manipulation, cooperation with underwater operators or with other underwater vehicles, mapping of underwater ground and detection of vegetation lying on the seabed.

Abstract
This work describes the new Unmanned Marine Vehicle e-URoPe developed by CNR-ISSIA. This Remotely Operated Vehicle is realized using the most innovative technical capabilities in order to achieve a fexible structure, adequate to withstand external impacts. The peculiar characteristics of the vehicle, on which is based the design concept, are: easiness of construction, facility of re-confguration and fexibility. Furthermore the vehicle could be completely modifed without big eforts in terms of money and time. The vehicle can be equipped with diferent types of sensors in order to make it fexible and adaptable to various applications such as sampling of water or objects, underwater manipulation, cooperation with underwater operators or with other underwater vehicles, mapping of underwater ground and detection of vegetation lying on the seabed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
