Underwater robot control system and underwater robot control method

摘要

To provide an underwater robot control system which enables remote control easily even if an operator cannot watch an underwater robot in water.SOLUTION: An underwater robot control system of a remote control type includes an underwater robot 1b that can transmit a sound wave and has a promotion mechanism, three or more communication buoys 4 which can receive the sound wave that the underwater robot 1b has transmitted, can transmit reception time that has received the sound wave, and float on the surface, position detection means which detects each position of the communication buoys 4, a communication part 21 which receives the reception time that the communication buoys 4 has transmitted, and a position determination part 231 which determines a position of the underwater robot 1b by using a difference between the transmission time of the sound wave and the reception time that each of the communication buoys 4 has received the sound wave, and each position of the communication buoys 4.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
