Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a system for launching robots for use in oil and gas production wells, comprising a supporting structure (2), on which robot launching tubing (4) is arranged; a dynamic seal (12) attached to the inlet end of the robot launching tubing (4), which seals off the umbilical cable (8); an annular BOP valve (3) to restrict upward flow; and a ram BOP valve (7), at the other end of the tubing (4), to restrict upward flow and having a large enough opening to allow the robot to pass through, sealing off the umbilical cable (8). The system can be detached from the duct, used for transporting the robot, can be flexible in terms of different configurations, and can have a system that allows inertization of blocked lines. The present invention is used for introducing robots that operate internally in flexible and rigid ducts, with it being necessary to connect the tubing system to the equipment developed. Once connected, and by operating the valves of the system, it is possible to introduce the robot into the tubing.
