我们描述了一种新技术，它可以提供来自海底的传感器数据的近乎实时的遥测，而不需要系泊浮标或到岸上的电缆。使这一系统成为可能的突破性技术是由加利福尼亚州森尼维尔的Liquid Robotics公司开发的一种名为Wave Glider的自动水面车辆，它可以收集波浪和太阳能作为动力和电力。我们给出了一个原型系统的几个部署的结果，证明了这个概念的可行性。我们还演示了波浪滑翔机可以在可接受的速度损失的情况下拖曳设计合理的海底包裹。随着进一步的发展，这种系统可以自主部署，并对来自海底传感器的数据进行实时遥测。
We describe a new technology that can provide near real-time telemetry of sensor data from the ocean bottom without a moored buoy or a cable to shore. The breakthrough technology that makes this system possible is an autonomous surface vehicle called a Wave Glider developed by Liquid Robotics, Inc. of Sunnyvale, CA, which harvests wave and solar energy for motive and electrical power. We present results from several deployments of a prototype system that demonstrate the feasibility of this concept. We also demonstrated that a wave glider could tow a suitably designed ocean bottom package with acceptable loss of speed. With further development such a system could be deployed autonomously and provide real-time telemetry of data from seafloor sensors.
