In order to analyze the ecosystem of unknown underwater creatures, the investigation into the seabed (or sampling of living things) is inevitable and underwater robots are expected as tools to access deep ocean. Most of investigations are carried out by using ROV or HOV, however the search area is limited to spot area because of their tethered cables, operation costs and number of robots. If AUVs can carry the devices for sampling underwater creatures, sand and mud, the cost of the examinations would be reduced, and wide area of investigation can be realized.
