To provide an underwater robot which enables autonomous navigation by using GPS.SOLUTION: An underwater robot with a floating body (10) with a GPS antenna and a diving machine body (20) coupling with the floating body (10) to be freely separable positions the floating body (10) on a sea surface directly above the diving machine body (20) by having the floating body (10) and the diving machine body (20) be capable of being integrated by coupling through magnetic force of magnets (12, 22) respectively attached at prescribed positions as well as having the floating body (10) and the diving machine body (20) be separable by having floating force working on the floating body (10) be greater than attraction force of the magnets (11, 12) along with diving of the diving machine body (20) and connecting the separated floating body (10) and the diving machine body (20) through wire (30) with prescribed tension working thereon.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】GPSを利用することで自律航行可能とした水中ロボットを提供する。【解決手段】GPSアンテナを備えた浮体(10)と、この浮体(10)と離合自在に結合する潜行機体(20)とを備えた水中ロボットであって、浮体(10)と潜行機体(20)とは、それぞれの所定位置に装着した磁石(12,22)の磁力を介して結合して一体化可能とするとともに、潜行機体(20)の潜行にともなって浮体(10)に作用する浮力が磁石(11,12)の吸着力よりも大きくなることで浮体(10)と潜行機体(20)とを分離可能とし、分離させた浮体(10)と潜行機体(20)とは、所定の張力を作用させたワイヤ(30)を介して接続することで、潜行機体(20)の直上海面に浮体(10)を位置させる。【選択図】図1
