海底之谜靠谁来解? 海洋中蕴含了许多关键问题的线索——海底火山的信息、地球未来的气候、甚至还可能有生命的起源。但是我们现有的大部分仪器,都无法看透海洋:光线只能照射几公尺,无线电波会被盖过或是反弹,声纳也只能提供深度、目标物体以及海洋生物的大概信息。如果有一支机器人潜艇舰队在海中巡逻回报海洋生物是否存在、地震带状况以及气候变化的原因,那么许多棘手的问题不就可以迎刃而解了吗?这并不是天方夜谭,一种新型的机器人——自主式水底载具(海底机器人)的出现,可望在近期内实现这个梦想。
Whose solution to the mystery of the sea? The sea contains many clues to the key issues - the information of the submarine volcano, the future climate of the earth, and may even have the origin of life. But most of our existing instruments cannot see through the ocean: light can only shine a few meters, radio waves can be overshadowed or rebound, and sonar can only provide general information about depth, target objects, and marine life. If there is a robotic submarine fleet patrolling the sea to report the existence of marine organisms, the condition of seismic belts, and the causes of climate change, then are many difficult problems not to be solved? This is not a fantasy, a new type of robot - The emergence of autonomous underwater vehicles (submarine robots) is expected to realize this dream in the near future.
