Abstract
An automated high speed under vessel work platform with three automated axes comprising a 360° rotational horizontal axis, a linear horizontal axis via a traversing trolley, and a linear vertical axis via swappable task robots, which can also add fourth and fifth axes capabilities. The automated high speed under vessel work platform has the ability to drive to a specific location by typing the core location into the control software. The work platform can be operated manually via a hand wheel, or locally via a handheld pendant or from the control room. The work platform also has a camera for inspections and verification of the work.
