The potrential is immense and not limited to ships at sea. In port, or at sea, robots could help move things off ship or on it, knowing the path to all areas of storage and delivery. Evenually they would stow new items or or fetch them already knowing exactly where they are. This can be done for one item or scores in multiple location then deliverede to multiple locations where needed. Obviously one robot design will not be advisable when things needing to be move range from parts, food, tools, pallets, to motor generator sets in or out of containers. Uses in shipyards, maintenance, or shore supply facilities should be anticipated with robots cooperatively working together such as in a tool or part store to fetch a list of things for a particular job, make it available for pick up for a robot to get it to the ship where it is made available for the ship robot to deliver to to those who need the tools and items to do a particular modification or maintenance task. In fact, in time, some of these modification and maintyenance tasks could be done by robots built for that purpose. Using AI, the set up instructions could largely be entirely developed from already existing maintenance manuals and manuals developed to document how a modification is installed. This would result in multiple sequential tasks for both humans and robots entirely coordinated so that as tasks are completed subsequent sequential tasks can be executed in parael in the best manner to avoid bottlenecks. Therefore if there is a problem with current availability of a required tool, part, robot or human team, all can be wirelessly and instantly retasked to doing the tasks most import which can be done to maximize efficient use of all resources and rapid completion of an availability. The system should also contantly analyze near term needs of robots and humans to add them to other abvailbilitiesd where they will produce the best results as far as schedule and use of all resources to the maximum extent possible. An ideal human coordinatror does this but could not hope to keep up to date and adjust instantly and change so many details to robots and humans in real time as could be done by AI connected wirelessly to the human/robot teams both for status feedback and instruction changes.
very cool!

But can you make it dance and do a backflip, Ali? These functions are imperative to the Navy.
