Energy systems for FAU AUVs [autonomous underwater vehicles]

Proceedings of the 2002 Workshop on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, 2002., 2003
The AUV research program at Florida Atlantic University (USA) has focused its design efforts on battery powered AUVs, developing both the battery packs and power distribution systems that provide a robust energy system for the AUV. This paper focuses on the development of our energy systems on their 3 AUVs (Ocean Voyager II, Ocean Explorer and Morpheus)

On the prediction of manoeuvrability of the autonomous underwater vehicle, AUV-HM1

Proceedings of 1998 International Symposium on Underwater Technology, 2002
The manoeuvrability of the unmanned untethered submersible AUV-HM1 testbed developed at the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering of National Taiwan University is investigated through two sets of stability indices, one is evaluated by the estimated values of stability derivatives, the others are those obtained by a series of captive ...

An implementation of ROS on the Yellowfin autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)

OCEANS'11 MTS/IEEE KONA, 2011
The design, testing, and mission execution of a network of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) is a difficult process. The design of low-level controllers requires high-fidelity hydrodynamic models for simulation, but the testing of a large network of AUVs with high-order models is computationally challenging.

Emerging Mapping Techniques for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)

2016
Seafloor environments at ever increasing depths on the continental shelf are being resolved at ever higher resolutions as a result of changing sensor technologies and, in part, with the emergence of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) as stable survey platforms.

Hydrothermal exploration using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)

10th International Congress of the Brazilian Geophysical Society & EXPOGEF 2007, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 19-23 November 2007, 2007
Thirty years after the first discovery of seafloor hydrothermal venting no more than 90% of the global mid-ocean ridge crest has been investigated for seafloor hydrothermal venting. Until recently entire ocean basins had remained unexamined. What was needed was a new, more efficient mode of exploration that could not only detect for the presence of ...

Design and Control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV-UMI)

2017
This paper outlines the conception, modeling and control of a rover type modular mini submarine. The development and implementation of the mechanical structure as well as the embedded electronics is described. The onboard instrumentation and sensors required to collect data on the environment and on its own position and orientation are also described ...

Alister – Rapid Environment Assessment AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle)

2010
ECA is mainly known worldwide for its successful PAP family (mine disposal systems). In the late 1970s, ECA designed the first operational AUV, named EPAULARD for IFREMER. Using its know-how gained over the years in designing and building various types of free swimming and inspection underwater vehicles, ECA decided in spring 2003 to develop the A3000,
