I have a rather unique problem – we have a bottom-mounted tetherless AUV that we program at the surface over WiFi with a delay on the AUTO mission, lower to the bottom, then after a time it begins its mission (then surfaces afterwards to re-connect).
Since we will lose GCS heartbeat once submerged, I turned that safeguard off. I congifured the AUV to surface if any of the other failsafes trigger (leak, pressure, temperature, etc).
I don’t think there is any way we can communicate with the ROV while it is underwater, right? That is, some way to shut off the mission if it starts doing it incorrectly, like a “big red button”.
Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!
