Scan registration for autonomous mining vehicles using 3D-NDT [PDF]

, 2007
Scan registration is an essential subtask when building maps based on range finder data from mobile robots. The problem is to deduce how the robot has moved between consecutive scans, based on the shape of overlapping portions of the scans.

Design and implementation of autonomous surface vehicle

2018 19th IEEE Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference (MELECON), 2018
This paper explores the design and implementation of an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) at Qatar University which includes mechanical design, image processing, control and navigation, and power management. A PID controller is designed for the heading control and waypoint control of the ASV and both simulation and experimental results are presented.

ENDURUNS: An Integrated and Flexible Approach for Seabed Survey Through Autonomous Mobile Vehicles

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The oceans cover more than two-thirds of the planet, representing the vastest part of natural resources. Nevertheless, only a fraction of the ocean depths has been explored.

Planning for Density in a Driverless World [PDF]

, 2016
Automobile-centered, low-density development was the defining feature of population growth in the United States for decades. This development pattern displaced wildlife, destroyed habitat, and contributed to a national loss of biodiversity. It also meant,

Low cost underwater acoustic localization

, 2017
Over the course of the last decade, the cost of marine robotic platforms has significantly decreased. In part this has lowered the barriers to entry of exploring and monitoring larger areas of the earth's oceans.

Development of Road Surface Detection Algorithm Using CycleGAN-Augmented Dataset

Sensors, 2021
Road surface detection is important for safely driving autonomous vehicles. This is because the knowledge of road surface conditions, in particular, dry, wet, and snowy surfaces, should be considered for driving control of autonomous vehicles.

Cooperative caging using autonomous aquatic surface vehicles [PDF]

2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2010
We present a study on the use of cooperative robots to execute a caging mission on the water's surface. In particular, we consider the problem of using two robotic boats (under-actuated autonomous surface vessels) connected with a floating rope, to ‘capture’ a floating object from a known location on the water's surface and 'shepherd' it to a ...
