An articulating robotic manipulator for underwater wood harvesting having a mechanical articulating arm that folds onto of itself and sits on a floating barge used for cutting under water trees that have been flooded. The ARM is controlled by an operator who is placed in a cabin on the barge above. The barge is a horseshoe cape and the folding arm deploys down the center of the barge and into the water. The barge contains side thrusters and trees can be seen under water using side scan sonar units. The arm consists of five booms and three cylinders. The ARM is 120-feet with a single ballast/tank. It can drop down and swivel 180-degrees. The ARM includes an air delivery system enclosed in the arm from the barge to the cutting head. The cutting head uses a custom cutting head that can open to 10-feet wide. The barge comprises eight ballasts.
