About
Angie Clegg is a pioneering researcher in the field of underwater robotics, with a primary focus on advancing the automation and control of hydraulic manipulators used in remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Her major contributions lie in developing hybrid position/force control schemes that enable tele-assistance, reducing the workload on human operators during complex underwater tasks such as weld inspection and connector mating. Clegg’s work systematically compares robust and adaptive control strategies, demonstrating how self-tuning algorithms can improve the efficiency and accuracy of underwater intervention. Her most-cited paper, “Hybrid position/force control of a hydraulic underwater manipulator” (1996, 61 citations), laid the groundwork for automating ROV operations, while subsequent studies on motion planning and contact control (1996, 12 and 8 citations) further refined tele-assisted systems. With over 100 total citations across her key publications, Clegg’s research has significantly influenced the design of more autonomous underwater robots, enhancing their capability to perform precise tasks in challenging environments. Her achievements highlight a career dedicated to bridging the gap between teleoperation and full automation in marine robotics.
