The depth of water is important information for the ship navigator when the ship enters the port. However, the depth is not always the same as the chart due to tides and sedimentation. This study aims to develop a system that measures the water depth by Underwater Vehicle and provides the information to the navigator. In addition, the sounding by the developed underwater robot was carried out, and the water depth map of pond was successfully created. This paper describes the hardware configuration and system design of the developed Underwater Vehicle, and the experimental results using the Underwater Vehicle. The tide calculation is summarized in the discussion.
