Details

This study introduces a new underwater docking system for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Since this system can be mounted on a submarine, it enables efficient docking and can solve the battery-shortage problem of AUVs. Using an origami-inspired structure, the system is designed to be reliable even in flowing water.
