The invention relates to the field of special purpose robotic systems to conduct external functions such as cleaning, monitoring and inspection of structures such as tubular assets in a splash zone. The splash zone is defined as the section of a marine structure that is periodically in and out of water due to the action of waves or tides, usually falling within (+)10m to (−)20m water depth. In embodiments, splash zone inspection robot system 1 comprises station 300, submersible saddle 350, submersible robot 400, and subsea robot controller 308. A predetermined set of controllable clamps selectively secure submersible robot 400 to submersible saddle 350 or structure 2 and allow incremental traversal along submersible saddle 350 or structure 2.
