Abstract

Autonomous robotics has become widely popular for various industrial applications. For underwater applications, there are some issues with communication due to the high signal attenuation in water. Through prior experiments, Magnetic Induction (MI) has shown to have promising result in underwater applications with low power consumption. Localization is the one idea in robotic navigation and is done through the creation of a copper coil in the XYZ directions. Using these 3 coils, a robot’s position can be precisely determined relative to the coil and a network of these coils can be created to collect data on the robotics location in the water. This research explores the application of MI to autonomous vehicles, in hopes of being able to create an underwater network of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) which would be able collect data and deliver it throughout the network.
