For the scientific and commercial utilization of Ocean resources, the role of
intelligent underwater robotic systems are of great importance. Scientific activities like
Marine Bio-technology, Hydrographic mapping, and commercial applications like Marine
mining, Ocean energy, fishing, aquaculture, cable laying and pipe lining are a few utilization
of ocean resources. As most of the deep undersea exploration are beyond the reachability of
divers and also as the use of operator controlled and teleoperated Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
and Diver Transport Vehicles (DTVs) turn out to be
highly inefficient, it is essential to have a fully
automated system capable providing stable control
and communication links for the unstructured
undersea environment. |
