This paper describes the implementation of a precise underwater navigation solution using a multi-sensor fusion technique based on USBL, DVL, and IMU measurements. To implement this precise underwater navigation solution, three strategies are chosen. The first involves heading alignment angle identification to enhance the performance of a standalone dead-reckoning algorithm. In the second, the absolute position is found quickly to prevent the accumulation of integration error. The third one is the introduction of an effective outlier rejection algorithm. The performance of the developed algorithm was verified with experimental data acquired by the deep-sea ROV, Hemire, in the East-sea during a survey of a methane gas seepage area at a 1,500 m depth.

This paper presents a dynamic workspace control method of underwater manipulator considering a floating ROV (Remotely Operated vehicle) motion caused by sea wave. This method is necessary for the underwater work required linear motion control of a manipulator's end-effector mounted on a floating ROV in undersea. In the proposed method, the motion of ROV is modeled as nonlinear first-order differential equation excluded dynamic elements. For online manipulator control achievement, we develop the position tracking method based on sensor data and EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) and the input velocity compensation method. The dynamic workspace control method is established by applying these methods to differential inverse kinematics solution. For verification of the proposed method, experimental data based test of ROV position tracking and simulation of the proposed control method are performed, which is based on the specification of the KORDI deep-sea ROV Hemire.

This paper presents an integrated navigation system that combines ultra-short baseline (USBL), Doppler velocity log (DVL), and heading measurements for a deep-sea remotely operated vehicle, Hemire. A navigation model is introduced based on the kinematic relation of the position and velocity. The system states are predicted using the navigation model and corrected with the USBL, DVL, and heading measurements using the Kalman filter. The performance of the navigation system was confirmed through re-navigation simulations with the measured data at the Southern Mariana Arc submarine volcanoes. Based on the characteristics of the measurements, the design process for the parameters of the system modeling error covariance, measurement error covariance, and initial error covariance are presented. This paper reviews the influence of the outliers and blackout of the USBL and DVL measurements, and proposes an outlier rejection algorithm that is robust to USBL blackout. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated with re-navigation for the data that includes USBL blackouts.

본 연구는 미래예측방법으로 많이 활용되고 있는 시나리오플래닝 방법론을 적용하여 2006년에 개발된 한국형 수중로봇시스템(심해무인잠수정시스템)의 바람직한 미래상을 도출하였다. 한국이 개발한 이 심해무인잠수정의 설계심도는 6000미터이며, 그 구성을 보면, '해미래'는 실질적인 심해탐사작업을 실행하고, 이 '해미래'를 지원하는 '해누비'는 심해에서 시료채취나 탐사가 가능하다. 한편 이 한국형 심해무인잠수정시스템은 수중복합항법시스템을 사용하고 있지만, 6000m심해에서 5m이내의 항법오차가 있고 50cm이내의 상대 위치오차를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본고는 이를 보완하여 관련 분야에서 기술 선도국이 될 수 있는 한국정부가 추진해야 할 바람직한 미래전략방향을 고찰했다. 그 결과 인디케이터와 가상벽을 갖춘 외부장치를 구비한 심해무인잠수정 시스템 개발이 한국에 있어 미래지향적인 정책추진방안이었다.
