Dynamics of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) towing another AUV

2023
This thesis studies the motion of an autonomous underwater vehicle towing another autonomous underwater vehicle which is a large as it is. The towed vehicle cannot be assumed to be just a mass attached to the towing vehicle. There is an interaction between the two vehicle.

Formation Control of AUV on the Base of Visual Tracking of AUV-Leader

2021 International Russian Automation Conference (RusAutoCon), 2021
In this paper, a method for the synthesis of a group control system for AUV moving in the leader-follower mode was proposed. The position of the follower relative to the leader is proposed to be determined using an on-board video camera, which recognized the light beacons installed on the leader's body.

Obstacle Avoiding Policy of Multi-AUV Formation Based on Virtual AUV

2009 Sixth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2009
Based on the local path planning for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) with uniform motion, a fuzzy logic control algorithm is adopted for AUV with variable velocity. And based on the formation control method and the geometrical kinematic relation of the formation order, the multi-AUV formation of obstacle avoiding can be translated into the path ...

A deliberative architecture for AUV control

2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2008
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are an increasingly important tool for oceanographic research demonstrating their capabilities to sample the water column in depths far beyond what humans are capable of visiting, and doing so routinely and cost-effectively.

The Development and Ocean Testing of an AUV Docking Station for a 21" AUV

OCEANS 2007, 2007
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has developed an AUV docking station for a 21-inch (54 cm) diameter AUV. The system was designed for operation with cabled undersea observatories in water depths up to 4 km deep and has been demonstrated in the open ocean, though at much shallower depths.

Mini ROV based anchoring AUV system TreeBot AUV

2016 IEEE/OES Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), 2016
Underwater environment which has swift current is difficult area to explore with AUV. Because of swift current, AUV could be swept by current losing control of itself. TreeBot is designed to explore the area which has swift current. TreeBot consist of two parts; anchor and mini ROVs.

Hierarchical Classification in AUV Imagery

2015
In recent years, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been used extensively to gather imagery and other environmental data for ocean monitoring. Processing of this vast amount of collected imagery to label content is difficult, expensive and time consuming. Because of this, typically only a small subset of images are labelled, and only at a small

AUV neuropsychological architecture with BDI

IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics, 2004., 2005
Most of the previous researches on AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) architecture focused on the autonomy and reactivity of AUV, so the researchers spent most time on the physical structure of AUV, but ignored the psychological (or mental) model of AUV.
