Bio-inspired Hybrid Underwater Vehicle for Ocean Observations
The conventional observation techniques from research vessels in the deep sea incur huge expenditures because of operational costs and unavailability of vessels during required times. These uncertainties are limiting the detailed Ocean’s monitoring. Thus, the observation platforms have laid great emphasis on improving the quality and endurance of measurements/observations, leading to the development of unmanned systems such as deep sea and coastal moorings mounted with sensors/instruments for continuous sampling of many ocean properties.
