自治水下机器人在深海采矿系统湖试中的应用

以大洋采矿前期的湖试为例,介绍了AUV在矿产资源调查和深海采矿中的应用。在深海采矿系统作业前期,利用AUV调查湖底的地形地貌、结核的分布与覆盖率,确定集矿机作业地点的大地坐标。在深海采矿系统作业后期,利用AUV调查集矿机在湖底的行走轨迹和压陷深度,估算回采率。

This paper gives an example of the lake test of a deep-sea mining system and introduces the application of AUV to mineral resources investigation.In pre-mining,the AUV is used to survey topography and physiognomy of the lake,distribution and ratio of artificial nodules laying on the bottom of the lake,then to confirm the geographical coordinate of the deep-sea miner.In post-mining,the AUV ia used to investigate the track and press depth by the miner on the lake bottom,and to estimate the pick quantity.
