A prototypal robotic platform that consists of a small autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) and of a micro-ROV, connected by an umbilical, is described. 4G/internet connection makes it possible to operate the platform from remote location. The operator can concentrate on guiding the micro-ROV by means of visual data, while the surface vehicle automatically coordinates its movements with those of the micro-ROV. Small dimensions, low costs and easiness of use make the platform an effective tool for low-budget survey in shallow water. The mechatronic characteristics of the platform are illustrated and discussed, together with the results of functional tests.

Abstract
A prototypal robotic platform that consists of a small autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) and of a micro-ROV, connected by an umbilical, is described. 4G/internet connection makes it possible to operate the platform from remote location. The operator can concentrate on guiding the micro-ROV by means of visual data, while the surface vehicle automatically coordinates its movements with those of the micro-ROV. Small dimensions, low costs and easiness of use make the platform an effective tool for low-budget survey in shallow water. The mechatronic characteristics of the platform are illustrated and discussed, together with the results of functional tests.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
