A hybrid underwater glider for underwater docking
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 18:56 authored by Peng, S, Yang, C, Fan, S, Zhang, S, Wang, P, Xie, Y, Chen, YUnderwater gliders have the advantage of high endurance and long range. However, these buoyancy-driven gliders do not have horizontal flight capabilities and have the shortage of low maneuverability. In this paper, we present a hybrid underwater glider aiming to overcome these disadvantages. The hybrid glider has characteristics as follows: it combines the capacity of a typical glider and a propeller-driven AUV, having the horizontal fly ability and higher maneuverability; it has the ability to dock with an underwater station for battery recharging and data communication, which will further expand the range and endurance of the vehicle.
