ROVs coordinating AUVs to play key role in ocean floor mapping

Exail, RTsys and ABYSSA have created a new partnership to use schools of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for ocean floor mapping.

Part of ongoing development involves developing a process by which a 3,000m depth-rated underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle will coordinate multiple AUVs to increase the surface of the exploration area.
