Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) serve many different roles, from surveillance to mapping, inspection and search/recovery. Several attempts have been made at underwater charging, but contact-based systems proved complex and unreliable. Induction-based wireless systems, while initially promising, required high precision docking that was often compromised by biofouling. WiBotic wireless charging and uptime optimization solutions solve these problems with components that provide both high power levels and a high degree of positional flexibility – allowing AUVs to charge simply by swimming into or near underwater transmitting stations.
