潮流環境下で用いる凧型海中ロボットの試作

抄録

In this research, we developed a prototype underwater vehicle used under a tidal current and evaluated its performance. The vehicle is remotely operated vehicle that has variable wings and has no thrust actuators. Like a kite, the vehicle controls its attitude by the tension of the tow cable and the lift force of wings. In the towing experiment, we achieved an attitude control using variable wings.
