Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have proposed new type AUV for wide-area and detailed observation of seafloor, which can follow rugged seafloor at low altitude suitable for visual observation based on scanning sonar and potential method. We have developed AUV HATTORI as a test bed, and verified the performance of the method by performing wide area seafloor observation using the vehicle.
