URI-T can perform various underwater construction tasks such as cable burial and maintenance. Successful sea trial results show that URI-T could be used in underwater construction fields. To improve the efficiency of URI-T, an assisted teleoperation scheme for underwater manipulations was also proposed. For the proposed scheme, by touching several points on the touch screen, one can move the manipulator to the target; it can reduce the burden of teleoperation of every degree-of-freedom (DOF) of the manipulators. The scheme also has a position estimation technique that can estimate six DOF position of the objects using 2D positions on the two images from cameras deployed in stereo. Via touch screen, the 2D positions are fed to guarantee reliability of the estimated results, which is one of the most important points in the underwater interventions. A control structure for the assisted teleoperation was investigated using the position estimation technique. The structure involved an inverse kinematics scheme based on the weighted damped least squares, which can resolve the kinematical limitations: workspace limit and singularity, and joint limits on position and velocity. This study established that the proposed assistance technique could significantly reduce operation time in comparison with the conventional teleoperation.
