Three-Dimensional Coordination Control for Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In order to deal with coordination control for multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), a three-dimensional coordination control scheme is proposed by combining sliding mode control, backstepping technique, and leader-follower strategy.

A Natural Language Interface with Relayed Acoustic Communications for Improved Command and Control of AUVs

open access: yes, 2018
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are being tasked with increasingly complex missions. The acoustic communications required for AUVs are, by the nature of the medium, low bandwidth while adverse environmental conditions underwater often mean they are

Performance of a glider‐mounted multifrequency echosounder for measuring the vertical distribution and abundance of large pelagic copepods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...
