Abstract

Underwater swarm robotics is an emerging topic.Compared to individual autonomous vehicles, high-capacity com-munication links are required between the mobile agents. In thistutorial, suitable communication technologies are studied, withemphasis on LED-based underwater optical wireless communica-tions. A comprehensive overview about challenges, advances, andpractical aspects of underwater swarm robotics employing opticalwireless communications is provided. The tutorial includes thefollowing topics: (1) Channel modeling fundamentals; (2) Physicallayer transmission techniques for underwater optical wirelesscommunications; (3) Data link layer aspects and hybrid trans-mission schemes; (4) Ambient light and interference suppression;and (5) Realization aspects. Finally, suggestions regarding futurework are given. The tutorial is intended for readers with abackground or interest in electrical and information engineering.
