MONSUN II- Towards Autonomous Underwater Swarms for Environmental Monitoring

Christoph Osterloh, Benjamin Meyer, Ammar Amory, Thilo Pionteck, Erik Maehle

Abstract

Abstract—This paper presents the small and inexpensive autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) MONSUN II that was designed to operate in a swarm. Particularly in the field of environmental monitoring a swarm based approach could in-crease the efficiency of the task by parallelization, the inherent redundancy and the fault-tolerance of a swarm. First preliminary results of the hardware and software are given to show the suitability of the system design. Basic approaches concerning the communication and localisation are presented to achieve an effective cooperative behaviour and to maximise the mission time for long time observations. I.
