The advancement of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology

2008 3rd IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications, 2008
An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) test-bed was jointly upgraded by DSTO and the University of Adelaide as an introduction of advanced technologies into its system. This AUV will serve as a platform to support further research dealing with underwater robotic operations.

Navigation of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV) Using Robust SLAM

2006 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications, 2006
This paper will present a robust extended Kalman filter (REKF) applied to the navigation of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) using robust Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques. Conventional Kalman Filter methods suffer from the assumption of Gaussian noise statistics, which often lead to failures when these assumptions do not ...

Modeling of the DEF-ALFA Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

RESEARCH JOURNAL OF PURE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 2023
This article presents a modeling of the dynamics of the DEF-ALFA autonomous underwater vehicle designed within the search project PID UNDEFI 484/2019 of the National Defense University. This paper proposes a previous study of the general characteristics of AUVs regarding their dynamic behavior and proposes a working model to apply it in the DEF-ALFA ...

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.

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 ...
