Versatile sensor and communication expansion set for the autonomous underwater vehicle MONSUN

Benjamin Meyer, Christian Renner, Erik Maehle

Abstract

This paper presents a novel and modular way of an adaptable autonomous underwater vehicle called MONSUN. The robot can be equipped with various hardware modules that feature sensor and communication capabilities qualifying it for a large number of mission tasks in the field of environmental monitoring. Having the possibility to adapt the robot by hard- and software components, the MONSUN robot differs from most conventional AUVs.
