ASVLite: a high-performance simulator for autonomous surface vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2021
The energy of ocean waves is the key distinguishing factor of marine environments compared to other aquatic environments such as lakes and rivers. Waves significantly affect the dynamics of marine vehicles; hence it is imperative to consider the dynamics of vehicles in waves when developing efficient control strategies for autonomous surface vehicles ...

An Hierarchical Architecture for Docking Autonomous Surface Vehicles

open access: yes2019 IEEE International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions (ICARSC), 2019
Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) provide the ideal platform to further explore the many opportunities in the cargo shipping industry, by making it more profitable and safer. This paper presents an architecture for the autonomous docking operation, formed by two stages: a maneuver module and, a situational awareness system to detect a mooring facility

Beam Search Algorithm for Anti-Collision Trajectory Planning for Many-to-Many Encounter Situations with Autonomous Surface Vehicles

open access: yesSensors, 2020
A single anti-collision trajectory generation problem for an “own” vessel only is significantly different from the challenge of generating a whole set of safe trajectories for multi-surface vehicle encounter situations in the open sea.

Multi-Agent Formation Tracking for Autonomous Surface Vehicles [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2021
In this article, the problem of collaborative tracking of an underwater target using autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) is studied. Distance-based formation control with a collision-avoidance potential function is employed as a solution. A formation control protocol is devised and applied to the formation tracking problem.
