海洋所蕴藏的巨大经济潜力以及它在政治、军事上的重要地位已经受到世界各国的广 泛关注。近年来,人们把注意力投向作为海洋资源的开发工具的各种海洋机器人的研发上。本文介绍了嵌入式数据库特点及Berkeley DB数据库体系结构,结合海洋机器人实时监测系统的具体需求,提出了一种基于嵌入式数据库Berkeley DB在智能海洋机器人系统中应用方案。 关键词:智能海洋机器人 嵌入式数据库 Berkeley DB [Abstract] The ocean contains the huge economic potential and it has received the widespread attention from politics and the military all over the world. In recent years, the people put their attention to research and develop autonomous ocean vehicle as the exploitation of ocean resource. This article mainly introduces the feature of embedded database and system structure of Berkeley DB. Combined with the requirement of the real-time monitoring system of autonomous ocean vehicle was put forward the scheme of autonomous ocean vehicle system based on Berkeley DB.
