摘要
To explore the complex underwater world, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are extensively used, whose recovery has been a challenging issue. To achieve high-efficiency AUV recovery, we propose a novel transformable underwater vehicle (TUV) which can maintain a closed state for low-resistance approaching and transform into an opening state for recovery to increase the possibility of success. The configuration of the thrusters is evaluated and optimized. The design and simulation results will be shown in this paper.
