Abstract
In this paper, we introduce an autonomous underwater vehicle for the collection of target water samples. The designed sampling autonomous underwater vehicle (S-AUV) consists of three parts: an electronic control cabin, a sampling cabin and a sensor cabin. The S-AUV can collect up to 8 target water samples during a single cruise. Each sample has a volume of 500 mL and can be taken within 40 s. The excellent sampling ability and control effect of the designed S-AUV are verified by pool test and lake test.
