“…All of these sectors require significant advances of the state-of-the-art in maritime technology, both to enhance efficiency as well as to become more sustainable in the future. Robotic systems like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and especially autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are seen as a game changer for exploration and exploitation of the marine environment [ 3 ], AUVs are still only adopted in niche applications and have yet to be utilized in broader fields [ 4 ].…”

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are seen as an emerging technology for maritime exploration but are still restricted by the availability of short range, accurate positioning methods necessary, e.g., when docking remote assets. Typical techniques used for high-accuracy positioning in indoor use case scenarios, such as systems using ultra-wide band radio signals (UWB), cannot be applied for underwater positioning because of the quick absorption of the positioning medium caused by the water. Acoustic and optic solutions for underwater positioning also face known problems, such as the multi-path effects, high propagation delay (acoustics), and environmental dependency. This paper presents an oscillating magnetic field-based indoor and underwater positioning system. Unlike those radio wave-based positioning modalities, the magnetic approach generates a bubble-formed magnetic field that will not be deformed by the environmental variation because of the very similar permeability of water and air. The proposed system achieves an underwater positioning mean accuracy of 13.3 cm in 2D and 19.0 cm in 3D with the multi-lateration positioning method and concludes the potential of the magnetic field-based positioning technique for underwater applications. A similar accuracy was also achieved for various indoor environments that were used to test the influence of cluttered environment and of cross environment. The low cost and power consumption system is scalable for extensive coverage area and could plug-and-play without pre-calibration.

“…The offshore industry faces the challenge of bringing down operating and maintenance costs while meeting stringent safety requirements and the difficult of carrying out frequent maintenance and operations in the complex subsea environment (Pfeiffer et al 2011;Chen et al 2014). This presents challenges in terms of subsea operation, but also promotes technical innovations in the offshore industry (Kampmann et al 2018). In order to provide detailed monitoring information of the offshore platform and the subsea installations efficiently and safely, the traditional offshore industry has undergone continuous technical innovation, especially in developing and employing the subsea operating mobile platform (Mai et al 2017;Sverdrup-Thygeson et al 2018;Lee et al 2016;Mannam et al 2018).…”

Hydrodynamic development of a bionic pectoral fin for undersea monitoring platformBionic pectoral fins play an essential role in achieving the superior swimming ability of the bio-inspired undersea monitoring platform by producing desired movements and propulsion forces. This paper discusses the hydrodynamic modeling and experiments of a bionic pectoral fin inspired by the cownose ray. A simplified hydrodynamic model of the oscillatory bionic pectoral fin is built. A physical prototype of the bionic pectoral fin is developed based on the structure and movement parameters extracted from the cownose ray. Performances of the bionic pectoral fin in producing lift force and propulsion force are tested using a towing tank experimental platform and compared with the results from corresponding simulations. Feasibility of the hydrodynamic simulation and the bionic design method are verified.
