Europa Explorer: LENG AUV undergoes an autonomous test mission

For details on the mission design please refer to http://robotik.dfki-bremen.de/en/rese... or the accompanying scenario video    • Europa-Explorer: Mission scenario   In this video, the Leng AUV undergoes an fully autonomous test mission in the saltwater basin of the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center. This mission is analogous to a potential mission in the ice-covered ocean of Jupiter's moon Europa. The vehicle undocks from the IceShuttle and then searches for gliders which act as acoustic navigation aids in a future mission. Following this, the AUV descends by modifying its buoyancy and gliding. Then, the vehicle searches the bottom for a black smoker. Finally, following an ascent (not shown), the vehicle docks again at the IceShuttle to transfer data. The robot-view images seen throughout the video is from data transferred at the end of the mission. This is a fully autonomous mission, meaning that the vehicle was not being remote controlled. Low-Bandwidth communication (Acoustic Modem) was reporting vehicle status information. The EurEx project is funded by the German Ministry of Economics (BMWI), Grant No. 50 NA 1217).
