      Part of the Robot we use (AUV)…

      Something went wrong with one of the computers on board the robot, and we stopped being able to communicate with it. This was fairly dangerous as we could end up losing the robot in the sea if we didn’t fix the problem. We only have one robot and it is very expensive so this was important.

      I had to take the robot appart which required using cranes as to get to one of the on board computers. These are in big titanium Spheres (Balls) which are really really heavy.

      I had to find the problem in the computer circuit board and fix it, this was quite a complicated problem to solve and one of my first problems I fixed in my current job so it meant a lot to get it right.
