Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a wired multi-AUV system and applications. AUVs are interconnected by a smart cable that contains fiber optics 3D positioning sensors. This cable connection enable to localization and communication of AUVs. Using this cable, we propose a hand-in-hand system (HS) for AUV localization and development to accomplish the given task. Experiments were carried out to demonstrate and confirm the efficiency of the proposed system.
