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 ...

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.
