This project tackles monitoring submerged infrastructures by using marine robots (ROVs) equipped with optical and sonar imaging technologies to collect data and create new datasets. These datasets facilitate the development of models that automate decision-making for interventions in submerged structures. 

It aligns with the thematic area of artificial intelligence and data science by utilizing advanced AI techniques and generating valuable datasets. In the ports, this technology will contribute to greater protection and efficiency in prevention and maintenance tasks. 

Monitoring submerged infrastructures is crucial due to climate change impacts and the growth of communication, energy, and port structures. Traditional methods are costly, resource-intensive, and often require divers, posing safety risks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a transformative solution, enabling automated assessment of structural conditions, improving accuracy, and reducing costs through Machine Learning techniques
