Autonomous Control of Seafloor Data Transfer from Lander Edokko Mark-I to AUV Hobalin
In this study, a long-term, wide-area seafloor monitoring method was tested in coastal sea area by combining a seafloor landing probe (lander) and a hovering AUV (H-AUV). The lander and the H-AUV performed direct acoustic communication and acoustic positioning on the seafloor autonomously, and the H-AUV approached the lander in a horizontally opposed position for the underwater optical wireless communication. This established underwater high-speed LAN communication and enabled the transfer of large-capacity video data on the lander to the research vessel via the H-AUV.
