The increasing complexity of marine engineering tasks demands innovative solutions to improve efficiency and safety. Traditional unmanned surface vessels (USVs) require separate operators to collaborate with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), highlighting gaps in automated system integration. This paper introduces a novel USV-ROV collaborative system, detailing the ground station, USV, and ROV components, including mechanical structures, circuits, communication protocols, control programs, sensors, and deployment and recovery mechanisms. The system features modular hardware, advanced communication strategies, and automated deployment. Using multi-node communication technology, it enables long-distance, low-latency data exchange. Equipped with GPS and a winch, the USV autonomously deploys the ROV with minimal human intervention. This approach offers a new method for underwater robot deployment and is applicable in offshore wind farm inspections, subsea cable monitoring, hull inspections, maritime search and rescue, and as an academic platform for hydrological detection and seabed exploration.

摘要

The increasing complexity of marine engineering tasks demands innovative solutions to improve efficiency and safety. Traditional unmanned surface vessels (USVs) require separate operators to collaborate with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), highlighting gaps in automated system integration. This paper introduces a novel USV-ROV collaborative system, detailing the ground station, USV, and ROV components, including mechanical structures, circuits, communication protocols, control programs, sensors, and deployment and recovery mechanisms. The system features modular hardware, advanced communication strategies, and automated deployment. Using multi-node communication technology, it enables long-distance, low-latency data exchange. Equipped with GPS and a winch, the USV autonomously deploys the ROV with minimal human intervention. This approach offers a new method for underwater robot deployment and is applicable in offshore wind farm inspections, subsea cable monitoring, hull inspections, maritime search and rescue, and as an academic platform for hydrological detection and seabed exploration.
