Autonomous robotic monitoring of subsea communication cables

Autonomous robotic monitoring of subsea communication cables
Autonomous robotic monitoring of subsea communication cables
This paper describes technology for autonomous robotic inspection of subsea communication cables. The method uses camera equipped Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and develops intelligent subsystems to find, track and generate surveillance summaries of cables without interrupting their service. We present an overview of the methods being developed and describe initial proof-of-concept of the intelligent subsystems. The methods are being integrated on an AUV with field trials planned in 2024.

Abstract

This paper describes technology for autonomous robotic inspection of subsea communication cables. The method uses camera equipped Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and develops intelligent subsystems to find, track and generate surveillance summaries of cables without interrupting their service. We present an overview of the methods being developed and describe initial proof-of-concept of the intelligent subsystems. The methods are being integrated on an AUV with field trials planned in 2024.
