Abstract
- The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has developed an AUV docking station for a 21-inch (54 cm) diameter AUV. The system was designed for operation with cabled undersea observatories in water depths up to 4 km deep and has been demonstrated in the open ocean, though at much shallower depths. The program demonstrated successful autonomous homing and docking, data downloads, uploading of new mission plans, battery recharging, and complete power cycling of the AUV. We describe the design, and at-sea tests.
