Abstract(s)
The use of unmanned marine robotic vehicles in
bathymetric surveys is discussed. This paper presents recent
results in autonomous bathymetric missions with the ROAZ
autonomous surface vehicle. In particular, robotic surface
vehicles such as ROAZ provide an efficient tool in risk assessment
for shallow water environments and water land interface zones as
the near surf zone in marine coast. ROAZ is an ocean capable
catamaran for distinct oceanographic missions, and with the goal to fill the gap were other hydrographic surveys vehicles/systems are not compiled to operate, like very shallow water rivers and marine coastline surf zones. Therefore, the use of robotic systems for risk assessment is validated through several missions performed either in river scenario (in a very shallow water conditions) and in marine coastlines.
