Modernized TSL-underwater robot for tunnel and shallow-waterinspectionAgeev, M.D.; Boreyko, A.A.; Gornak, V.E.; Matvienko, Yu.V.; Scherbatyuk, A.P.; Vanlin, Yu.V.; Zolotarev, V.V.Underwater Technology, 2000. UT 00. Proceedings of the 2000 International Symposium onVolume , Issue , 2000 Page(s):90 - 95Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/UT.2000.852521Summary:TSL (tunnel sea lion) is a specialized self-propelled underwater vehicle with data-command link to operator on a support ship by fiber-optical cable. The autonomous use of TSL is possible. TSL is designed for sonar and video inspection of extended water-filled tunnels and for shallow-water applications. A modernized version of TSL that is currently used also as a carrier of sensors and equipment for execution of different scientific programs and students projects is described in the paper
