Mini ROV based anchoring AUV system TreeBot AUV

Abstract

Underwater environment which has swift current is difficult area to explore with AUV. Because of swift current, AUV could be swept by current losing control of itself. TreeBot is designed to explore the area which has swift current. TreeBot consist of two parts; anchor and mini ROVs. Anchor is fixed on floor of ocean and protect TreeBot from being swept. Then, mini ROVs are launched from anchor and collect information about underwater environment.
