Intelligent buoy and its system for underwater robots

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater robots, and in particular relates to an intelligent buoy for underwater robots and a system thereof, aiming to solve the problem that underwater robots cannot achieve wide range of activities and good communication quality in the prior art. The intelligent buoy provided by the present invention includes a mast, a floating body, and a sealed cabin. The mast is fixed above the sealed cabin, and the floating body is slidably arranged on the mast. The mast has an extension extending out of the floating body, and the length of the extension is adjustable; A communication positioning device is provided, and the communication positioning device is used to receive / send information to external equipment; the smart buoy can communicate with at least one underwater robot through a cable, and move under the drag of the underwater robot. The communication positioning device of the present invention adopts Beidou and RF antenna redundant configuration, and the center of buoyancy is adjustable, so that the underwater robot can complete two-way communication without floating to the water surface, which not only ensures the operating range of the underwater robot but also ensures the communication quality, reliable Strong.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater robots, and in particular relates to an intelligent buoy for underwater robots and a system thereof. Background technique [0002] Underwater robots refer to automated devices with underwater observation and operation capabilities, and are widely used in underwater operations such as underwater search, seabed exploration, seabed salvage, and lifesaving. [0003] The existing underwater robots are mainly divided into two categories: one is the cable underwater robot, and the other is the cableless autonomous underwater robot. The cable-free autonomous underwater robot has the advantages of not needing to follow the mother ship and having a wide range of activities. However, due to its lack of communication cable connection, the main control terminal mainly controls it through wireless communication and receives the status information reported by it, so real-time control quality And the quality ...
