Error in Figure
Figures 1 and 3 in the original paper [1] have been deleted on the request of the project administration. Accordingly, Figure 2 has been renamed to Figure 1, and Figures 4–14 have been re-numbered to Figures 2–12, respectively. The terms within Figures 2, 4, 5, and 14 (Figures 1, 2, 3, and 12, respectively, in the revised paper) have been changed in the original paper. We assure readers that the deletion of these figures and the changes on the terms within the figures do not affect the scientific results of this study in any way.
Text Correction
Some terminologies and paragraphs described in this paper have been changed on request of project administration. Therefore, we provide information on the terminologies and paragraphs that have been modified from the original paper below.
1. Introduction
“including a case, … operating sequentially” this sentence has been removed.
3. AUV—Moving Platform Docking System
“device along the fixed horizontal… and closes to secure it, as shown in Figure 1” and some words “module”, ”a type of locking device”, “from opening” “wirelessly” have been removed.
In Table 2, specific words have been changed to “External Transfer Device”, “Internal Transfer Device”, “Transfer Device”, “Return Device”, “Docking System”, “Docking Device”.
“After the engagement is complete, … the figure to clearly illustrate the completed docking process” has been removed.
