Abstract :
This paper describes ideas in the field of cooperative underwater robotics, which can considerably enhance the exploration capabilities of underwater robots. Three heterogeneous planned or existing underwater robots are presented and possible approaches for cooperative behavior are discussed. Possible application scenarios for future deployment are presented.
