Abstract

Underwater applications of wireless robots are foreseen to hold a market potential. The standardization process will drive the development of the necessary technology so that devices can work cooperatively. Specific testing procedures have to be developed in order to verify that a device meets requirements. In this paper, a general framework for testing of underwater wireless robot communications is described. The methodology for conformance and interoperability tests is addressed by considering wireless robots as terminals in an underwater acoustic network.
