Abstract :
Geological surveying of the ocean floor holds considerable promise for the exploitation of mineral resources in the near future. However, new tools are required to carry out the surveys in an expedite manner. As a contribution to this goal, this paper advances the concept of a robotic fish-like device equipped with acoustic sensors to aid in the process of geological surveying at sea.
