Development of prototype autonomous surface vehicle

2016 Techno-Ocean (Techno-Ocean), 2016
JAMSTEC has operated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for scientific survey of seabed mineral resources. Conventionally, the number of AUVs the support vessel can track is limited to one during operations. However, it takes a long time for one AUV to survey a large target area.

Design of an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV)

Proceedings of OCEANS'94, 2002
Although work in ROV (remotely operated vehicles) and AUV (autonomous underwater vehicles) has already led to the development of many vehicles, no surface robots have been designed. The Port of Bordeaux Authority in collaboration with the University of Bordeaux has undertaken the development of such an autonomous surface vehicle.

Test and Evaluation of Autonomous Surface Vehicles: A Case Study

2020 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium (PLANS), 2020
The rigorous test and evaluation of autonomous systems is often a challenging process. Specifically, the transformation of qualitative assessments often used in the development phase to unbiased quantitative assessment can be difficult. Additionally, few standardized metrics exist for the test and evaluation of autonomous systems, as applications ...

Neural Anti-Collision System for Autonomous Surface Vehicle

Neurocomputing, 2015
Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASV) are robots destined for the operation at water basins like lakes, canals, harbors and even open sea. They are used for different purposes, e.g. for patrol tasks, as scouts, or as a support for Navy ships. One of the main tasks of ASV is to move along a fixed path to a destination point.

A novel method of unmanned surface vehicle autonomous cruise

Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2016
Purpose – This paper aims to propose a new method for combining global path planning with local path planning, to provide an efficient solution for unmanned surface vehicle (USV) path planning despite the changeable environment. Path planning is the key issue of USV navigation.

Planning for Autonomous Operation of Unmanned Surface Vehicles

2016
The growing variety and complexity of marine research and application oriented tasks requires unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to operate fully autonomously over long time horizons even in environments with significant civilian traffic. The autonomous operations of the USV over long time horizons requires a path planner to compute paths over long ...
