DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF THE UNDERWATER RECOVERING SYSTEM FOR THE UNTETHERED UNDERWATER VEHICLE "EXPLORER"

摘要

This paper presents in detail the design concept and the implementation of the electric control system of the recovering system for the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Explorer. This system consists of two parts: surface and underwater parts. This recovering system can conduct underwater movements flexibly, and the orientation and depth can be adjusted. Relied on TV tracking technique and sonar positioning system, the butt between the recoverer and the underwater robot can be performed.
