Abstract:
In scientific, military, and industrial sectors, the development of robust and efficient submarine wireless communication links is of enormous interest. Underwater wireless communications can be carried out through acoustic, radio frequency (RF), and optical waves. Underwater optical communication is not a new idea, but it has recently been considered because seawater exhibits a window of reduced absorption both in the visible spectrum and long-wavelength UV light (UV-A). Compared to its bandwidth limited acoustic counterpart, underwater optical wireless communications (UOWCs) can support higher data rates at low latency levels. Underwater wireless communication networks are important in ocean exploration, military tactical operations, environmental and water pollution monitoring. Anyway, given the rapid development of UOWC technology, documents are still needed showing the state of the art and the progress made by the most current research. This paper aims to examine current technologies, and those potentially available soon, for Underwater Optical Wireless Communication and to propose a new perspective using UV-A radiation.

Abstract:
Underwater wireless optical communications are a developing alternative to meet the increasing need for high-speed connections in oceans and seas. Optical wireless communications (OWCs) are more secure and less susceptible to eavesdropping compared to acoustic communications or radio frequency (RF) communications due to their narrow optical beam coverage and reliance on line-of-sight components. Nevertheless, the existence of a hostile eavesdropper can compromise the level of confidentiality achieved by OWC networks. This article provides a concise overview of the latest research conducted on physical layer security (PLS) in underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC). Furthermore, this work presents the relevant unresolved matters, approaches for enhancing secrecy performance, and potential areas for further research.

Abstract:
The increasing number of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) cooperating in underwater operations has motivated the use of wireless communications. Their modeling can minimize the impact of their limited performance in real-time robotic interventions. However, robotic frameworks hardly ever consider the communications, and network simulators are not suitable for HIL experiments. In this work, the UWSim-NET is presented, an open source tool to simulate the impact of communications in underwater robotics. It gathers the benefits of NS3 in modeling communication networks with those of the underwater robot simulator (UWSim) and the robot operating system (ROS) in modeling robotic systems. This article also shows the results of three experiments that demonstrate the capabilities of UWSim-NET in modeling radio frequency (RF) and acoustic links in underwater scenarios. It also permits evaluating several MAC protocols such as additive links online Hawaii area (ALOHA), slotted floor acquisition multiple access (S-FAMA) and user defined protocols. A third experiment demonstrated the excellent capabilities of UWSim-NET in conducting hardware in the loop (HIL) experiments.

Abstract:
With the rapid developments of commercial demands, a majority of advanced researches have been investigated for the applications of underwater wireless sensor (WSN) networks. Recently optical communication has been considered for underwater wireless sensor network. An experimental set-up for testing optical communication underwater has been provided and designed in present papers to maximize the energy coupled from these displacements to the transduction mechanism that converts the mechanical energy into electrical. The true case has been considered by measuring diffuse attenuation coefficients in different seas. One stand out potential optical communication method, Visible Light Communication (VLC) has been talked and several communication methods are compared from many points of view, for example attenuation in salt water. The evaluation of modulation techniques for underwater wireless optical communications has been displayed, and further how the data collection and storage with an underwater WSN is introduced. In this paper current researches for an (UWSN) based on optical communication are studied, in particular the potential VLC method and comparisons of VLC with other optical communication approaches. Underwater challenges would be analyzed by comparing a sort of communication methods, applied in underwater. Future work will be developed at last.

Abstract:
Nowadays, underwater wireless communications are realized through communication systems based on acoustic waves, electromagnetic waves (radiofrequency waves and low frequency waves), magnetic induction and visible light. This paper provides a basic problems and key aspects in the development of underwater wireless optical communication systems. The latter attracts considerable interest from science, industry and ecology as an effective solution to satisfy the rapidly increasing demands of underwater high data-rate transmission on at any depth. However, severe aquatic channel conditions (absorption, scattering, turbulence, etc.) significantly reduce the attainable communication ranges. The second serious problem limiting the functioning of wireless optical communication systems is the difficulty of aligning the transmitter beam with the receiver's field of view. Two main types between transmitter and receiver are considered: diffuse line-of-sign (wide-beam) configuration and point-to-point light-of-sign (narrow-beam) configuration. Diffuse line-of-sign communication have reduced alignment requirements, but data rates and distances are noticeably lower than in narrow-beam systems. The main technical solutions for adjusting the receiver and transmitter in narrow-beam communication systems are discussed in this paper.

Abstract:
Similar to terrestrial networks, underwater wireless networks (UWNs) also aid several critical tasks including coastal surveillance, underwater pollution detection, and other maritime applications. Currently, once underwater sensor nodes are deployed at different levels of the sea, it is nearly impossible or very expensive to reconfigure the hardware, for example, battery. Taking this issue into account, considerable amount of research has been carried out to ensure minimum energy costs and reliable communication between underwater nodes and base stations. As a result, several different network protocols were proposed for UWN, including MAC, PHY, transport, and routing. Recently, a new paradigm was introduced claiming that the intermittent nature of acoustic channel and signal resulted in designing delay tolerant routing schemes for the UWN, known as an underwater delay tolerant network. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of underwater routing protocols with emphasis on the limitations, challenges, and future open issues in the context of delay tolerant network routing.

Abstract:
Eelume AS is a norwegian company that develops autonomous underwater vehicles. Their flagship model is an underwater snake robot that performs inspection, maintenance and repair operations. For the time being, Eelume has been using acoustic communications between their AUV's and the docking station, but it has a big drawback: bandwidth. Eelume is interested in streaming live high-quality video from their AUV's to the docking station, which requires several megabits per second. As underwater radio frequency communications are not possible, wireless optical communications seem to be the best available alternative.   The focus of this Thesis is to design an underwater wireless optical communications system that could be implemented on the Eelume AUV, although it is designed as a standalone embedded system that could be integrated into any other platform. Two prototypes were designed and tested through-air: a low-cost system featuring a PIN photodiode that can stream a 1.5 Mbps video signal over 0.5 meters and a high-sensitivity system featuring an avalanche photodiode that can stream a 2.5 Mbps video signal over 10.5 meters.   Even if further underwater testing is needed and some inherent limitations in the design like the precise calibration or the ambient light noise effects could be mitigated. The results achieved by this high-sensitivity system demonstrates that a high-bandwidth mid-range underwater wireless optical communication system featuring a blue/green LED array as the light source and an avalanche photodiode as the photodetector is a viable solution for streaming live high-quality video over several meters even in very turbid seawaters.

Abstract:
Underwater communication is necessary for a variety of applications, including transmission of diver speech, communication between manned and/or unmanned underwater vehicles, and data harvesting for environmental monitoring, to name a few. Examples of communication between underwater vehicles include unmanned or autonomous underwater vehicles (UUV or AUV) for deep water construction, military UUVs such as submarine drones, repair vehicles for deep water oil wells, scientific or resource exploration, etc. Examples of underwater communication between fixed submerged devices are sensor networks deployed on the ocean floor for seismic monitoring and tsunami prediction, pollution monitoring, tactical surveillance, analysis of resource deposits, oceanographic studies, etc. The underwater communication environment is a challenging one. Radio signals experience drastic attenuation, while optical signals suffer from dispersion. Because of these issues, acoustic (sound) signals are usually used for underwater communication. Unfortunately, acoustics has its own problems, including limited bandwidth, slow propagation, and signal distortion. Some of these limitations can be overcome with advanced modulation and coding, but to do so requires better understanding of the underwater acoustic propagation environment, which is significantly different than air- or space-based radio propagation. The underwater environment must be studied and characterized to exploit these advanced modulation and coding techniques. This thesis addresses some of these concerns by proposing a derivation of the envelope level crossing rate of the underwater channel, as well as a simulation model for the channel, both of which agree well with the measured results. A velocity estimator is also proposed, but suffers from a high degree of root mean square error

Abstract:
Existen muchos trabajos relacionados con el diseño y desarrollo de nodos sensores, donde se presentan gran variedad de aplicaciones. Las redes de sensores inalámbricos pueden facilitarnos y mejorar algunos aspectos de nuestra vida diaria. Es fácil, pensar que si este tipo de dispositivo es tan beneficioso para nosotros y para el entorno donde vivimos, su precio debería ser relativamente barato. Pero podemos comprobar que esto no es así. ¿Por qué estos dispositivos son tan caros? ¿Sería posible desarrollar dispositivos con las mismas capacidades y precios más económicos? ¿Cómo puedo fabricar mis nodos sensores de bajo coste? Esta tesis responde a estas preguntas y muestra algunas de las muchas aplicaciones que los nodos sensores pueden tener. En esta tesis hemos propuesto (e implementado en algunos casos) el desarrollo de nodos sensores para la monitorización del medio, a partir de dispositivos de bajo coste. Para la implementación de un nodo sensor, y en definitiva la red que une a todos estos nodos, es importante conocer el medio donde trabajarán. A lo largo de este documento se presentan las investigaciones llevadas a cabo para el desarrollo de sensores en tres ámbitos de aplicación. En el primero de ellos, se desarrollan dispositivos multisenores para la monitorización del medio. La aplicación de las redes de sensores inalámbricas al medio natural, precisa un estudio de cómo se ven afectadas las señales, en función de la distancia, vegetación, humedad del ambiente, etc. Focalizamos nuestros desarrollos en la verificación de incendios en zonas rurales y en el control de plagas en viñedos donde la detección precoz de estos eventos genera elevados ahorros económicos. También proponemos el desarrollo de una red de collares sensores para ganado domestico, que nos ayudará a reducir y prevenir en muchos casos, los ataques de lobos y hurtos de crías. Por último, dentro de este grupo, presentamos una red permite detectar anomalía de los materiales en edificios y red de sensores que nos permite monitorizar las personas mayores o deficientes, que se mueven junto con un grupo, en una excursión o actividad. El segundo grupo de aplicaciones, hace referencia a la monitorización de espacios en entornos de interior. Para ello hemos analizado el comportamiento de las señales inalámbricas en diferentes escenarios. Los resultados, nos han permitido extraer un nuevo método de diseño de las redes inalámbricas en interiores. Nuestro método, permite definir la mejor ubicación de los dispositivos de red y nodos sensores en interiores con un ahorro en el número de sensores del 15%. Por último, se presenta el estudio sobre las comunicaciones subacuáticas basadas en las ondas electromagnéticas donde analizamos la dependencia de las comunicaciones subacuáticas en agua dulce en función de la frecuencia, temperatura, tasas de transferencia de datos y modulación. Relacionado con el medio subacuático, presentamos 2 propuestas. La primera de ellas hace referencia a la implementación de una red de sensores para granjas marinas que nos permite reducir la cantidad de residuos depositados en el lecho marino y reducir el porcentaje de comida desperdiciada. La segunda propuesta es el desarrollo de dos sensores oceanográficos que nos permitirían controlar la cantidad de comida y heces depositadas en el suelo y controlar la turbidez del agua de manera muy simple y económica Todos estos desarrollos y propuestas, han estado precedidos por un exhaustivo estudio sobre los problemas energéticos que las redes de sensores inalámbricas presentan y las técnicas que pueden emplearse, para prolongar la vida útil de la red y mejorar su estabilidad.
There are many works related to the design and development of sensor nodes which present several applications. Wireless sensor networks can facilitate and improve some aspects of our daily lives. It is easy to think that if this type of device is so beneficial to us and to our environment, its price should be relatively cheap. But we can see that this is not true. Why these devices are so expensive? Would it be possible to develop devices with the same capabilities and lower prices? How can I make my low-cost sensor nodes? This dissertation answers these questions and shows some of the many applications that sensor nodes may have. In this dissertation, we propose (and implement in some cases) the development of sensor nodes for environmental monitoring, from low-cost devices. For the implementation of a sensor node and network which joins all these nodes, it is important to know the environment where they will work. Throughout this dissertation, we present the research carried out for the development of sensors in three main application areas. In the first of these areas, we present multisensor devices developed for environmental monitoring. The application of wireless sensor networks to the environment requires a study of how signals are affected depending on the distance, vegetation, ambient humidity, etc. We focus our developments on the fire detection in rural areas and on the control of pests in vineyards where the early detection of these events generates high economic savings. We also propose the development of a sensor network which will help us to reduce and prevent wolves¿ attacks and theft in livestock. Finally, within this group, we present a network to detect material anomalies in building and a sensor network which allows us to monitor the elderly or disabled people who move along with a group on a tour or activity. The second group of applications is related to the monitoring of spaces in indoor environments. For this, we analyze the behavior of wireless signals in different scenarios. These results allowed us to extract a new method for designing wireless networks in indoor environments. Our method allows defining the best location of network devices and sensor nodes indoors saving 15% of the sensors needed. Finally, we present a study on underwater freshwater communications based on electromagnetic waves, where we analyze the dependency of underwater communications as a function of working frequency, temperature, data transfer rates and modulation. Related to underwater environment, we present two proposals. First one refers to the implementation of a sensor network for marine farms which allows us to reduce the amount of waste deposited on the seabed and reduce the percentage of wasted food. The second proposal is the development of two oceanographic sensors which allow us to control the amount of food and feces deposited in seabed and the water turbidity control in a very simple and inexpensive way. All these developments and proposals have been preceded by a comprehensive study on the energy problems in wireless sensor networks. We have also presented several techniques which can be used to prolong the network lifetime and improve its stability.

Abstract:
On assiste au développement des activités humaines liées au monde océanique, mais aucune norme n'a encore émergé pour l'Internet des objets appliqué aux objets autonomes marins. Bien qu'elle possède une bande passante limitée, l'onde acoustique est le seul moyen de communiquer sur des distances importantes et elle est donc utilisée par de nombreux systèmes sous-marins pour communiquer, naviguer ou déduire des informations sur l'environnement. Cela a conduit à une forte demande de réseaux sans fil qui nécessitent à la fois une bonne efficacité spectrale et énergétique avec la faible complexité des algorithmes associés. Par conséquent, au cours de ce doctorat, nous avons proposé plusieurs solutions originales pour relever le défi de développer des techniques numériques, capables de faire face au canal acoustique.En raison d’une diversité inhérente d'espace du signal (SSD), les constellations tournées permettent de meilleures performances théoriques que les constellations conventionnelles et ce, sans détérioration spectrale. Nous passons en revue les propriétés structurelles des constellations tournées M-QAM uniformément projetées, afin de proposer une technique de demapping souple à faible complexité pour les canaux à fading. Puis, nous proposons une technique originale de réduction du PAPR pour les systèmes OFDM utilisant les constellations tournées. Afin de réduire la complexité du décodage aveugle, nous nous appuyons sur les propriétés des constellations tournées M-QAM uniformément projetées, pour concevoir un estimateur de faible complexité. De plus, pour faire face à la sélectivité du canal acoustique, nous avons proposé un turbo-détecteur parcimonieux adaptatif avec seulement quelques coefficients à mettre à jour afin de réduire la complexité. Enfin, nous avons proposé un algorithme original auto-optimisé pour lequel les tailles de pas de l'égaliseur sont mises à jour de manière adaptative et assistées par des informations souples de manière itérative, afin de répondre à l'exigence de convergence rapide et de faible erreur quadratique sur des canaux variant rapidement dans le temps
There has been recently a large development of human activities associated to the ocean world, where no standard has emerged for the Internet of Things (IoT) linked to marine autonomous objects. Though it has a limited bandwidth, the acoustic wave is the only way to communicate over average to large distances and it is thus used by many underwater systems to communicate, navigate, or infer information about the environment. This led to a high demand for wireless networks that require both spectral efficiency and energy efficiency with the associated low-complexity algorithms. Therefore, in this Ph.D. thesis, we proposed several original solutions to face this challenge.Indeed, due to the inherent Signal Space Diversity (SSD), rotated constellations allow better theoretical performance than conventional constellations with no spectral spoilage. We review the structural properties of uniformly projected rotated M-QAM constellations, so as to propose a low complexity soft demapping technique for fading channels. Then, we present an original blind technique for the reduction of the PAPR for OFDM systems using the rotated constellations with SSD. In order to reduce the complexity of blind decoding for this technique, we again rely on the properties of uniformly projected M-QAM rotated constellations to design a low-complexity estimator. Moreover, to face the selectivity of the acoustic channel, we suggest a sparse adaptive turbo detector with only a few taps to be updated in order to lower down the complexity burden. Finally, we have proposed an original self-optimized algorithm for which the step-sizes of both the equalizer and the phase estimator are updated adaptively and assisted by soft-information in an iterative manner, so as to meet the requirement of fast convergence and low MSE over time-varying channels

Abstract:
Underwater wireless communication refers to transmitting data in unguided water environment through the use of wireless carriers, i.e., radio-frequency wave, acoustic wave, and optical wave. We focus, in this thesis, on the underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) that employs optical wave as the transmission carriers. In comparison to RF and acoustic counterparts, UWOC has a much higher transmission bandwidth, thus providing much higher data rate. Due to this high-speed transmission advantage, UWOC has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Many potential applications of UWOC systems have been proposed for environmental monitoring, offshore exploration, disaster precaution, and military operations. However, UWOC systems also suffer from severe absorption and scattering introduced by underwater channel. In order to overcome these technical challenges, several new system design approaches, which are different from the conventional terrestrial free-space optical communication, have been explored in recent years. In this thesis, we provide a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of UWOC research in three aspects: channel characterization, channel modulation and coding techniques, and practical implementations of UWOC. Based on the comprehensive understanding of UWOC, we also investigate the outage performance for vertical buoy-based UWOC with pointing errors. Closed-form outage probability with zero boresight pointing errors and outage probability bounds with nonzero boresight pointing errors have been derived.

Though acoustic modems have long been the default wireless communication method for underwater applications due to their long range, the need for high speed communication has prompted the exploration of non-acoustic methods that have previously been overlooked due to their distance limitations. One scenario that drives this need is the monitoring of deep sea oil wells by AUVs that could be stationed at the well and communicate surveillance data wirelessly to a base station. In this thesis, optical communication using LEDs is presented as an improvement over acoustic modems for scenarios where high speed, but only moderate distances, is required and lower power, less complex communication systems are desired. A super bright blue LED based transmitter system and a blue enhanced photodiode based receiver system were developed and tested with the goal of transmitting data at rates of 1 Mbps over distances of at least 10 meters. Test results in a fresh water tow tank showed the successful transmission of large data files over a distance of 13 meters and at transmission rates of at least 3 Mbps. With an improved test environment, even better performance may be possible.

Abstract:
This thesis studies the modelling and characterisation of underwater optical wireless communication links, particularly short-range diffuse links, by using numerical Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. MC simulation provides a flexible, intuitive and accurate modelling of the underwater channel, which is severely affected by absorption and scattering processes. In diffuse Underwater Optical Wireless Communication (UOWC) links, scattering is expected to have a larger impact on communication link performance due to the wider beam divergence compared to collimated beams. Thus, this thesis will investigate the characterisation of path loss, spatial, temporal and angular dispersions of diffuse links in various types of water. Firstly, a detailed investigation on the path loss performance of diffuse beam in three types of water is presented. This includes the study on the contribution of unscattered and scattered components of light to the total received power and how they are attenuated. From the percentage of unscattered light that contributed to the total power reception, the distance at which the unscattered component drops to zero can be estimated. This distance is used to predict the transition point from minimal scattering to multiple scattering regime for diffuse beams in coastal and turbid water. In addition to this, the spatial dispersion effect is also studied at off-axis locations. To further understand the behaviour of scattering in diffuse links, the scattering order probability is evaluated for various beam sizes in various types of water. Currently, this kind of information cannot be obtained either analytically or experimentally. The information on the scattering order is used as the parameter to classify the links into three scattering regimes, namely minimal, intermediate and multiple scattering regimes. Further investigations into the transition regimes are conducted by investigating the impulse response and frequency response performance for temporal dispersion effects. From the impulse response and frequency response analysis, the bandwidth that can be supported by the channel can be predicted, which provides some insight into the potential and limits of the links. In addition to temporal dispersion, the angular dispersion performance is also evaluated. It is shown through the angle of arrival (AOA) distribution that diffuse beams exhibit significant angular dispersions, implying that a large receiver field of view (FOV) is needed for optimum power performance. The information on the AOA distribution is then used to study the impact of receiver FOV on the bandwidth. Finally, the effect of aperture on the power received and scattering order histogram is evaluated. As a conclusion, the numerical results presented in this thesis will provide an improved understanding of the effect of scattering on path loss, spatial, temporal and angular dispersions along with their relationships with each other.

Underwater exploration and surveillance currently relies on subsea cables and tethers to relay data back to the user. The cause for this is that water heavily absorbs most electromagnetic signals, preventing effective radio communication over large distances, and that underwater communication with acoustic signals affords only bit rates on the the order of Kilobits per second. In this thesis we present a novel design and implementation for an underwater data muling system. This system allows for automatic collection of underwater datasets without the need to physically connect to or move the sensors by using mobile robots to travel to the sensors and download the data using wireless optical communication to bring it back to the base station. The system consists of two parts. The first part is a modular and adaptive robot for underwater locomotion in six degrees of freedom. We present a hardware design as well as control algorithms to allow for in-situ deployment without the need for manual configuration of the parameter space. To achieve this we designed a highly parameterizable controller and methods and algorithms for automatically estimating all parameters of this controller. The second part of the data mulling system is a novel high-bandwidth optical underwater communication device. This device allows for transfer of high-fidelity data, such as high-definition video and audio, images, and sensor logs. Finally we present algorithms to control the robots path in order to maximize data rates as it communicates with a sensor while using only the signal strength as a measurement. All components and algorithms of the system have been implemented and tested in the real world to demonstrate the validity of our claims.

Abstract:
Underwater wireless communication (UWC) means the transmission of information using wireless channels through the underwater, i.e. radio frequency waves (RF), acoustic waves and optical waves in an unguided water environment. In this review article we focus on underwater optical wireless communications (UWOCs) using optical waves as transmission medium. UWOCs have a much higher communication frequency and therefore a much higher data rate compared to RF and acoustic counter-parts. Due to this high-speed data transfer advantage, UWOC has been very attractive over the past few years. Many application shave been proposed in UWOC systems for protection of the environment, underwater exploration, emergency alerts and military operations etc. However, underwater absorption, scattering and turbulence processes will introduce attenuation and fading to light propagation and then degrade the performance of underwater wireless optical communications (UWOC). In this review paper we give a detailed overview of turbulence and beam propagation characteristics of different water bodies in UWOC.

Abstract:
Abstract The proposed technology provides subsea autonomous solutions using artificial intelligence and communication software. These integrate wirelessly between Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). This is a significant improvement on the current pre-programmed mode of AUVs and the subsea communications and operation of autonomous robotics. Furthermore, the technology allows underwater wireless communication between autonomous subsea robotics and introduces new operational opportunities using simultaneous multi-robotic subsea arrays. Underwater vehicles are used for a wide variety of operations that include – but are not limited to inspection/identification, oceanography, survey missions or samples picking. Underwater vehicles may be manned or unmanned. Among the unmanned vehicles, there are ROVs and AUVs. An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is a robot that travels underwater without requiring input from an operator. AUVs constitute part of a larger group of undersea systems known as unmanned underwater vehicles, a classification that includes the mentioned non-autonomous Remotely Operated underwater Vehicles (ROVs) – controlled and powered from the surface by an operator/pilot via an umbilical or using remote control. ROVs are unmanned underwater vehicles connected to a base station, which may be a ship. As mentioned ROVs are connected to the ship by means of cables; this implies that the maximum achievable distance between the ROV and the base station is limited by the length of the cable. AUVs are unmanned underwater vehicles, which are connected to a docking station by means of a wireless communication. Typically, AUVs are propelled through the energy stored in batteries housed in their body. This means that the operative range of an AUV is limited by the capacity of the battery. This type of underwater vehicles has recently become an attractive alternative for underwater search and exploration since they are cheaper than manned vehicles. Over the past years, there have been abundant attempts to develop underwater vehicles to meet the challenge of exploration and extraction programs in the oceans. Recently, researchers have focused on the development of AUVs for long-term data collection in oceanography and coastal management. The oil and gas industry uses AUVs to make detailed maps of the seafloor before they start building subsea infrastructure; pipelines and sub-sea completions can be installed in the most cost effective manner with minimum disruption to the environment. In addition, post-lay pipe surveys are now possible, which includes pipeline inspection. The use of AUVs for pipeline inspection and inspection of underwater man-made structures is becoming more common. With the adoption of AUV technology becoming more widespread, the limitations of the 5 technology are being explored and addressed. The average AUV charge lasts about 24- hours on an underwater AUV, but sometimes it is necessary to deploy them for the kinds of several day missions that some unmanned systems are equipped to undertake. Like most robots, the unmanned mechanisms contain batteries that require regular recharging. Docking stations that communicate directly with underwater vehicles, guiding them to where they can recharge and transfer data have been developed. Any data the AUV has gathered, such as images of the seabed, could be uploaded to the docking station and transmitted to home base, which could direct new instructions to the robot any underwater vehicle requiring the need of a wireless communication with the docking station faces at least the problem of the limitations for wireless communications in water
