在水下机器人的研究中，通信是一个非常重要的议题。受到自然界弱电鱼类可以主动发射和感知电场实现水下感知通信的启发，我们开发了一种稳定、功耗低和环境适应性强的近距离水下电场通信方法。我们实验室致力于开发、升级基于水下电场通信的嵌入式系统，并实际运用至水下机器人上，达成基于电场的水下机器人通信、组网、定位、导航等功能。

　　Communication is a very important topic in the study of underwater robots. Inspired by the weakly electric fishes using an electric field to communicate efficiently, we developed a near - range, stable, low-power-consumption and strong-environmental-adaptability method called underwater electrocommunication . Our laboratory is committed to developing and upgrading the embedded system based on underwater electrocommunication, and applied on underwater robots to achieve the functions such as underwater communication, networking, positioning and navigation, etc.
