Development of an autonomous surface station for underwater passive acoustic observation of marine mammals

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to develop a solar-powered autonomous surface vehicle (SASV) for the use of ocean environment monitoring and underwater passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals. Measuring items of the logger version CTD with optical fast DO sensor are depth, temperature, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll and turbidity. The authors have also developed kinds of underwater passive acoustic monitoring systems (UPAMSs) for establishing a soundness index of the ocean, and contributing to preventative safety measures for collision avoidance of high-speed vessels and cetaceans. A practical application of the SASV can be watching over swarm intelligent underwater vehicles. This SASV consists of a couple of solar panels with a charge-and-discharge controller, an embedded PC, a couple of thrustors, a GPS device and a 3-axis digital compass for navigation. The SASV can be operated in autonomous control mode and manual control mode by a small game controller. Feature of this small-sized, lightweight and low-cost SASV is easy handling and long-term operation. This paper deals with its design concept, hardware components, control software, and trial run.

Development of an autonomous underwater vehicle for observation of underwater structures

Abstract: Various kinds of robots have been developed parallel with progress of computer and the operations with robots in the extreme environment such as rescue, space and ocean are getting practical solutions. The underwater robots are expected as one of solutions for underwater activities i.e., maintenance of underwater structures, observations, scientific research, and investigated the efficiency during recent decades. Especially, the underwater structures are getting large-scale and large-depth. In order to do safe and efficient works, the works are desired to be carried out automatically. In these works, underwater images are one of the effective information, and also useful for various applications, including undersea exploration navigation, wreckage visualization. This paper describes development of autonomous underwater vehicle for observation of underwater environment.
