Semi-Submersible型洋上自律探査機の開発と評価（第2報）

抄録

Recent years, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) has been used for observation of a marine structure or bottom of a ship, and used for education. On the other hand, the ROV is easy to be affected by the tidal current and easy to lose its localization. So we have developed a semi-submersible autonomous vehicle that works with ROVs. Our semi-submersible type ASV has a large payload and low influence of wave, and it can be as a landmark for ROVs because of its omni-directional maneuverability. In this paper, we described the design of our semi-submersible type ASV which supports ROV's operation.
