  • Patent number: 11500384
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for path planning of a wave glider, comprising acquiring historical navigation data of the glider and an underwater vehicle via a shore-based monitoring center; fitting historical navigation data nonlinearly by a deep learning neural network to obtain a trained network; acquiring real-time navigation data of the glider at an off-line end, real-time navigation data and predetermined shipping track data of the vehicle; obtaining the set of off-line optimized path planning schemes of the glider by the above data and the trained network; and determining an optimal path planning scheme of the glider by the deep learning neural network according to real-time data and constraint data of the glider at the on-line end. The invention can reasonably plan the path of the glider and ensure continuous and reliable information interaction between the glider and the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11473335
    Abstract: An acoustic-electric remote control release hook used on water and underwater includes a first shell and a cylindrical framework. The cylindrical framework is fixedly connected with the first shell in a detachable mode; the first underwater transducer is remotely matched with a second water transducer which extends to the underwater through a cable, and the second water transducer is connected with a control switch through a cable. An acoustic command receiving module is arranged inside the first shell, and a power supply end of the acoustic command receiving module is connected with the power supply. A signal input end of the acoustic command receiving module is connected with the first underwater transducer through a cable and a watertight connector assembly, and a signal output end of the acoustic command receiving module is connected with the driver of the direct-current motor.

  • Patent number: 11305854
    Abstract: A deep-sea low-cost long-endurance collaborative navigation and positioning system. A shore-based monitoring center transmits a route planning solution to a wave glider. The wave glider follows an underwater vehicle to travel and feeds back state information of the wave glider and state information of the underwater vehicle to the shore-based monitoring center in real time. The shore-based monitoring center adjusts the route planning solution according to the state information in real time. The wave glider and the underwater vehicle are respectively equipped with an underwater acoustic communication machine.
