There has been great progress toward increasing autonomy using more advanced algorithms, in addition to traditional methods for navigation, localization and detection.
Bringing people to the bottom of the deep ocean is inherently dangerous. At the same time, climate change means collecting data from the world’s oceans is more vital than ever. Purdue University mechanical engineer
explains how researchers reduce the risks and costs associated with deep-sea exploration: Send down subs, but keep people on the surface.When we talk about water studies, we’re talking about vast areas. And covering vast areas requires tools that can work for extended periods of time, sometimes months. Having people aboard underwater vehicles, especially for such long periods of time, is expensive and dangerous., or ROVs.
What can remotely operated and autonomous underwater vehicles do that crewed submersibles can’t, and vice versa? Crewed submersibles will be exciting for the public and those involved and helpful for the increased capabilities humans bring in operating instruments and making decisions, similar to crewed space exploration. However, it will be much more expensive compared with uncrewed explorations because of the required size of the platforms and the need for life-support systems and safety systems.
The technology has advanced dramatically in recent years due to progress in sensors and computation. There has been great progress in
