Underwater Vessels TRIZ Cases
- Docking UUV Inspection Assembly for Tethered-Relay Access
A tethered relay UUV docks and deploys untethered inspection vehicles, extending access to hard-to-reach submerged areas without draining tanks.
- Docking UUV Inspection Assembly for Hard-to-Reach Submerged Structures
A tethered UUV carrying a docked secondary UUV uses optical links to inspect submerged structures without draining tanks or limiting access.
- Underwater Vehicle Depth Tracking With Hierarchical Disturbance Rejection
Adaptive line-of-sight guidance and disturbance-rejection pitch control improve depth tracking of underactuated underwater vehicles under coupling and disturbances.
- Autonomous Subsea Inspection Vehicle With Deployable Sensor Arms
Deployable semi-rigid arms and position sensors let an autonomous subsea vehicle track underwater structures closely without vessel-based ROV costs.
