This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A lightweight manipulator that is capable of grasping underwater objects has been developed and tested. This manipulator, designed to be coupled with a free-swimming (untethered)submersible vehicle, acts as a hand, lifting objects weighing up to 12.5 pounds in salt water with its fingertips. The complete vehicle system, incorporating the vehicle and manipulator, is capable of potential applications ranging from underwater observation to the implacement of sensors, positioning of imaging subsystems, and retrieval of small objects. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Navy Technology Transfer Fact Sheet, Code E411, Naval Surface Weapons Center, Dahlgren, Virginai 22448.
