Zusammenfassung:Mola Mola is a seafloor mapping AUV owned and operated by the National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology (NIUST). Its primary sensor is a downward-facing camera producing color-corrected seafloor imagery which, with proper navigation and post processing, can be converted to a photo mosaic. It also uses a multibeam sonar to gather bathymetry encompassing the photo coverage. Since its delivery in May of 2009 Mola Mola has been modified in the areas of its imaging and navigation systems as well as several mechanical systems.
