Energy Constrained Hierarchical Underwater Monitoring via Local Multi-Agent RAG
Marine life monitoring is limited by strict energy constraints, poor underwater connectivity, and the high cost of transmitting raw multimodal data from remote deployments. This paper proposes a low-consumption underwater monitoring architecture that combines always-on edge sensing with selective high-performance local reasoning. The system follows a hierarchical master--satellite design in which ultra-low-power MAX78000/MAX78002 microcontrollers continuously monitor visual and acoustic signals, while an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX is activated only for scheduled processing, event-driven analysis, or researcher interaction. Once active, the Jetson executes a fully local multimodal pipeline for ...
