This paper proposes a novel multimodal underwater transformable agent (MUTA) designed as an adaptive and efficient information node for M-ITS. The MUTA integrates a biomimetic morphing wing, multi-drive propulsion system, incremental environmental perception, and an uncertainty-aware dynamic modeling framework to switch smoothly among long-range (LR) cruising, high-maneuverability (HM) operation, and synergy modes. Comprehensive lake and sea trials demonstrate that the MUTA maintains high motion precision and achieves significant energy efficiency improvements, reaching depths up to 1200 m and covering a range of over 3000km. The MUTA has achieved over 17% efficiency gain in lake and marine environments. This work provides an adaptive and efficient solution for M-ITS under uncertain marine conditions.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Multimodal underwater transformable agent for efficient marine transportation in dynamic spatiotemporal environments","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-09-30 01:34:39.637685","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Underwater transportation, energy efficiency, bionic design, spatiotemporal perception, multimodal dynamics, marine logistics.","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-09-23","DateCreate":"2025-09-23","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1109/tits.2025.3601716"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":418522,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"1-13","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"Early view","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":269469,"SerRR":"Ieee Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.
