Path Planning for the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

2013
This paper introduces a novel method to find the optimal path for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). AUVs have gained importance over the last few years as service and research tools in a variety of applications. Path planning is one of the challenging tasks when dynamic obstacles are encountered.

Autonomous navigation of underwater vehicles

IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society. OCEANS'98. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.98CH36259), 2002
The goal of the work is to propose a method to solve with visual means the problem of underwater navigation of an autonomous vehicle moving in deep sea in order to perform inspection of a pipe positioned near the ocean floor. We refer to the ability of an autonomous system to determine its motion with respect to the environment. It is well known that a

Navigation of underwater autonomous vehicles

Proceedings of the 2000 International Symposium on Underwater Technology (Cat. No.00EX418), 2002
The paper suggests an approach to solving the problem of navigation of an underwater vehicle using acoustic and geometric data and gravitation field potential changing in time. The known methods of making seafloor acoustic maps are not effective for correction of coordinates in areas of smooth relief and in shallow water. The suggested algorithm allows

Research and Applications of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.

Science and Technology of Engineering, Chemistry and Environmental Protection
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technology has been developed in the field of underwater surveying over the past decades. Today as climate change and the energy crisis becoming increasingly urgent matters. Simultaneously, as technology is moving towards data-driven digitization, AUV technology is expanding into several other fields.

GPS in autonomous underwater vehicles

6th International Conference on Electronic Engineering in Oceanography, 1994
The UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is developing an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) capable of measuring, storing and transmitting full-depth oceanographic data over basin-wide tracks. An important feature of this AUV (known as Autosub) is that it will surface periodically for short periods in order to communicate with its base and ...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Docking

2016
This chapter describes the practical challenges of docking autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV s) in the ocean environment and approaches undertaken to create working docking systems. Early docking work was motivated by the desire to operate AUVs for multiple sorties without recovery or human servicing of the AUV. To accomplish this, the docking system
