本発表では、現在開発中の曳航型水中ロボットの尾翼の特性について検証した実験について紹介する。開発した水中ロボットを有索にて曳航した際の水深や姿勢の変位について、実験により確認、検証した。

We have been studying and developing an underwater robot for coral reef conservation. In this research, we propose a towed robot using flap device for underwater survey. This underwater robot is developed for two purposes. The first purpose of this underwater robot is reducing the physical load on the research diver. The Seconds purpose of this underwater robot is to investigate underwater of improving efficiency. We designed with towed underwater robot and umbilical cable. The robot consist of three parts, two pressure vessels, and a flap device. The umbilical cable using PLC (Power Line Communication). Preliminary experiments indicate that the towed underwater robot have basic performance.
