in #robot8 years ago

So just an update now that I've looked it up, unsurprisingly it turns out that using sound waves for underwater remote control is rather complicated. There are several other effects that hinder communication and signal processing, including multi-path propagation and Doppler shift. If you want to read more, check out Wikipedia's article on underwater acoustic communication.
