Abstract:
A method for underwater exploration and/or recovery of objects and/or things using a submersible vehicle assembly and underwater powered observation system using a camera and source of light of a green laser to be directed to the underside of the surface of the water so as to locate the vehicle assembly by the green laser. In this manner the vehicle assembly may be utilized for the underwater tasks of locating objects and/or things on a surface of the underwater environment.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for underwater exploration and/or recovery of an object in water, comprising:\n inserting a vehicle assembly system in the water; driving the vehicle assembly system vertically in the water by using a controller for operatively generating counter-rotating forces of a forward vertical propulsion unit and an aft vertical propulsion unit, the vertical driving comprises energizing each of a first drive motor operatively coupled to a first propeller of the forward vertical propulsion unit in a first rotational direction to generate a thrust in a vertical direction, and a second drive motor operatively coupled to a second propeller of the aft vertical propulsion unit in a second rotation to generate a thrust in a vertical direction so as to clear the hole; driving the vehicle assembly system in a horizontal direction using the controller by operatively generating counter-rotating forces of each of a starboard horizontal propulsion unit and a port horizontal propulsion unit, the horizontal driving comprises energizing each of a third drive motor operatively coupled to a first propeller of the starboard horizontal propulsion unit in a first rotational direction to generate a thrust in a horizontal direction, and a fourth drive motor operatively coupled to a second propeller of the aft vertical propulsion unit in a second rotation to generate a thrust in a horizontal direction, locating the object in the water using a camera is a forward opening of a waterproof enclosure of the vehicle assembly system; actuating a source of light in a top opening of the waterproof enclosure for locating the vehicle assembly system under the water, wherein the source of light comprises a green laser of a frequency of about 532 nm; locating light emitted from the source of light on a top surface of the water; and accessing the object at the location of the emitted light in the water.
