The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is capable of autonomously conducting underwater cruising tasks. When combined with docking operations, the AUV can replenish its electric power after long-distance travel, enabling it to achieve long-range autonomous monitoring. This paper proposes a position...
