- Abstract:
-
Underwater intelligent systems play an irreplaceable role in key areas such as marine resource exploration, ecological monitoring, and national defense. Faced with the complexity and variability of the marine environment, traditional single-agent systems exhibit limitations in operational efficiency, environmental adaptability, and task coverage. Underwater crowd intelligence, based on multi-agent collaboration, offers a new technical pathway through distributed sensing, cooperative computing, and adaptive control. This paper systematically reviews the conceptual evolution and research progress of crowd intelligence, identifies the core challenges in underwater environments, and proposes a system architecture for underwater crowd intelligence based on the “sensing-computing-collaboration” paradigm. Within this framework, it elaborates on three key technologies: intelligent sensing, intelligent computing, and intelligent collaboration. Particular attention is given to emerging directions such as cooperative computing under communication constraints and intelligent decision-making across heterogeneous agent clusters. Finally, the paper outlines future prospects of underwater crowd intelligence by examining its applications in marine resource exploration, underwater environmental monitoring, and underwater security.
