This invention relates to the field of
underwater robot technology, specifically to an autonomous
recovery method and
system for
underwater robots based on
binocular vision and multi-source fusion. The
system includes an AUV and a
recovery platform. The AUV is equipped with a binocular camera, IMU, DVL, and USBL. The
recovery platform is equipped with a guide light array, an auxiliary
light source, a
pressure sensor array, and a recovery cage. The method includes four stages: long-distance repositioning, high-precision
visual guidance, multi-source fusion control in the visual
failure zone, docking determination, and fixation. In the visual
failure zone, the
system activates the bottom auxiliary
light source and constructs a multi-source fusion framework. It deeply fuses the two-dimensional
deflection angle of the auxiliary vision, the high-frequency attitude of the IMU, the three-dimensional velocity of the DVL, and the absolute position of the USBL, and outputs the six-degree-of-freedom
pose of the AUV in real time. This ensures end-
effector attitude stability, improves system robustness and environmental adaptability, and solves the problems of not being able to provide complete attitude information and poor anti-disturbance capability in the near-range visual
failure zone.
