Abstract

This paper describes a wheel driven ocean bottom crawler and the potential to use it for short time deployment as well as for longer periods. By using a sophisticated telemetry link to the ship or the shore, Move! combines the advantage of ROV - the flexibility for sensor integration and video survey due to the high bandwidth telemetry and the advantage of AUV - a stable platform and the long time aspect. Integration of an underwater connector makes MOVE! suitable to recharge the batteries by assistance of a small ROV or by using a docking station of a cable based observatory
