Abstract:Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are important in areas such as underwater scientific research and underwater resource collection. However, AUVs suffer from data portability and energy portability problems due to their physical size limitation. In this work, an acoustic guidance method for underwater docking is proposed to solve the problem of persistent underwater operation. A funnel docking station and an autonomous remotely operated vehicle (ARV) are used as the platform for designing the guidance algo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
