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 ...

Risk Analysis for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Operations in Extreme Environments [PDF]
, 2010 Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are used increasingly to explore hazardous marine environments. Risk assessment for such complex systems is based on subjective judgment and expert knowledge as much as on hard statistics.

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 ...
