“…Nowadays, there are several relevant review papers on underwater localization. These papers include comprehensive overviews of underwater localization [14]; papers focusing on underwater localization sensors [15]; a review focusing on the automation of operations in confined underwater spaces [16], with a core emphasis on individual positioning methods (SLAM [17], SINS/DR [18]); and papers discussing the development of localization and navigation for underwater robots [19]. However, none of these papers provide a concentrated and detailed introduction to localization methods suitable for underwater robots in confined spaces.…”

Underwater robots often encounter the influence of confined underwater environments during underwater exploration. These environments include underwater caves, sunken ships, submerged houses, and pipeline structures. Robot positioning in these environments is strongly disturbed, leading not only to the failure of some commonly used positioning methods but also to an increase in errors in positioning systems that normally function well in open water. In order to overcome the limitations of positioning methods in confined underwater environments, researchers have studied different underwater positioning methods and have selected suitable methods for positioning in such environments. These methods can achieve high-precision positioning without relying on assistance from other platforms and are referred to as autonomous positioning methods. Autonomous positioning methods for underwater robots mainly include SINS/DR positioning and SLAM positioning. In addition, in recent years, researchers have developed some bio-inspired autonomous positioning methods. This article introduces applicable robot positioning methods and sensors in confined underwater environments and discusses the research directions of robot positioning methods in such environments.
