Momonga-like AUV –AUV with a variable wing–

Water column sampling is one of the important ways to acquire the information used for detecting global warming, water pollution, climate change, and so on. Recently, water sampling is conducted by robots called Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) those works automatically without tether expecting the efficient and the wide range sampling. Here we propose glider AUV with variable wing used for adapting ocean environment such as ocean current. We showed the design of this AUV including simple calculation of the effect of the rotational wing and the whole plan of producing and using this AUV.
