Abstract This work presents an energy harvesting system that can be integrated into most autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), allowing it to operate for significantly longer periods of time, potentially indefinitely. This wave-power charging capability is achieved by integrating a retractable...

... operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have become critical for ensuring the safety and integrity of deepwater operations. ROVs are typically tethered to a surface vessel by a cable and are controlled remotely by a human operator, while AUVs are self-sufficient and can operate...

..., the overall cost of these activities. This work describes a novel multi-agent autonomous system comprising an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and unmanned surface vessel (USV). We describe a unique AUV configuration that incorporates a custom high-bandwidth acoustic communication system capable of video...

... Project combined 3D laser data from an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) with 3D sonar data collected by a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) as a first step toward monitoring efforts that will inform BOEM and BSEE of the spill’s long-term impacts on deepwater shipwreck preservation. Employing microbial...

... of a dynamically positioned surface vessel, tether management, and high cost mobilization and demobilization. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are now emerging with new capabilities and technologies that could make them more efficient and more cost effective than ROVs. New paradigms in shape, autonomy, sensing...

For example, resident autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) equipped with the optical transmitter would be able (i) to charge batteries of undersea sensors such as wellhead sensors and telemetry of well-monitoring systems...

.... The current, prevailing method for seep hunting requires multiple steps, first using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to survey the seabed, followed by deployment of large manned service vessels and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). In contrast, the new approach can discover and analyze seepages in one...

... primarily, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV); to understand their roles and limitations in oil and gas production; to study potential threats leading to underwater robot-robot collision or robot-structure collision; to evaluate all possible consequences due to collision; to recommend necessary safety...

... Abstract AUVs first entered the Oil and Gas market in the 1990s due to a requirement to solve challenges posed by deep water survey. In particular, ROV tether management systems were highlighted as a major technical hurdle. Nowadays, demand for AUV surveys is being fuelled by commercial...

... in the late 1990s, the number and length of pipelines has significantly increased, leading to time-consuming and costly conventional Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) inspections. Based on these technical and economical constrains, an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) based solution, technology routinely...

... to study the spatial distribution on a (x,y) basis. Based on this study, DCNS and Ramboll-Environ have defined new sensors and samplers. Some fit a mobile platform, whether tethered such as a ROV or untethered - such as an AUV or a glider; others fit tethered buoys or bottom-mounted sampling systems...
