Title:
SYSTEM FOR COUPLING AQUATIC RELAY MACHINE AND UNDERWATER CRUISING BODY, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/196812
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention comprises: an aquatic relay machine 200 having a relay machine propulsion means 38 and a relay machine position measurement means 40; an underwater cruising body 100 having a cruising body position estimation means 20; an information transmission line 24 for connecting between the aquatic relay machine 200 and the underwater cruising body 100, and transmitting acquired information including image information obtained by the underwater cruising body 100; a position setting means 54 for setting a target latitude and target longitude for the aquatic relay machine 200 and the underwater cruising body 100; and control means 12, 32 for controlling the aquatic relay machine 200 and the underwater cruising body 100, and is configured such that, on the basis of the target latitude and target longitude that have been set and an on-water position measured by the relay machine position measurement means 40, the relay machine propulsion means 38 is driven, the position of the aquatic relay machine 200 is controlled by the control means 12, 32, and on the basis of the target latitude and target longitude that have been set and an underwater position estimated by the cruising body position estimation means 20, the position of the underwater cruising body 100 is controlled by the control means 12, 32, thereby causing the underwater cruising body 100 and the aquatic relay machine 200 to travel side-by-side while maintaining a vertical positional relationship on the water surface and under water until reaching the target latitude and target longitude.
