Underwater Docking Approach and Homing to Enable Persistent Operation
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 One of the main limiting factors in deployment of marine robots is the issue of energy sustainability. This is particularly challenging for traditional propeller-driven autonomous underwater vehicles which operate using energy intensive thrusters.

Optimal Kinematic Control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2009 This note investigates the motion control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The AUV is modeled as a nonholonomic system as any lateral motion of a conventional, slender AUV is quickly damped out. The problem is formulated as an optimal kinematic control problem on the Euclidean Group of Motions SE(3) , where the cost function to be minimized ...

Optimized Environment Exploration for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles [PDF]
2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2018 Achieving full autonomous robotic environment exploration in the underwater domain is very challenging, mainly due to noisy acoustic sensors, high localization error, control disturbances of the water and lack of accurate un- derwater maps. In this work we present a robotic exploration algorithm for underwater vehicles that does not rely on prior ...

Tracking multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Autonomous Robots, 2018 In this paper we present a novel method for the acoustic tracking of multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. While the problem of tracking a single moving vehicle has been addressed in the literature, tracking multiple vehicles is a problem that has been overlooked, mostly due to the inherent difficulties on data association with traditional acoustic ...
