FAIR data and Marine Robotics

2023
A solid understanding of the ocean functioning is now more important than ever. With the advent of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the boost of marine technology, now we have access to groundbreaking observations. Novel robotics can shed light on unexplored marine areas and unlock the observation of pristine environments ...

Applications of marine robotic vehicles

Intelligent Service Robotics, 2011
The ocean covers about two-thirds of the earth and has a great effect on the future existence of all human beings. About 37% of the world's population lives within 100 km of the ocean. The ocean is generally overlooked as we focus our attention on land and atmospheric issues; we have not been able to explore the full depths of the ocean and its ...

Can robots recognize common Marine gestures?

2010 42nd Southeastern Symposium on System Theory (SSST 2010), 2010
This paper provides a different method for humanrobot interaction and further encourages communication between human users and their robotic counterparts. The focus of our work is to develop a human-robot communication system that is not easily detectable and increases stealth when necessary.

Autonomous robotic organizations for marine operations

Science Robotics
Future marine operations objectives and tasks require a paradigm shift from robots to autonomous robotic organizations (AROs). These AROs must have advanced cooperative skills, control capabilities, and resilience both as individuals and as heterogeneous robot teams operating in space and air, on the sea surface, and underwater.

Autonomous Marine Robots Assisting Divers

2013
Research related to diver safety, navigation and monitoring has been identified as crucial for advancing diving activities. These issues are usually dealt with by pairing up divers and adopting well defined rules for diving operations to reduce the chance of accidents.

A hydrostatic robot for marine applications

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2000
Abstract Invertebrates that use a fluid-filled cavity surrounded by contractile tissue (a hydrostatic skeleton) propel themselves efficiently underwater and penetrate regions inaccessible to legged or wheeled devices. A hydrostatic robot would therefore be invaluable for exploring marine environments.

Coordinated motion control of marine robots *

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2003
Abstract This paper addresses the problem of coordinated motion control of marine robots. A nonlinear control law is derived to steer two underwater vehicles along identical parallel paths, while ensuring that the lateral distance between them remains constant. The key idea explored in the paper is to elect one of the vehicles as leader and the other

Introduction to Autonomy for Marine Robots

2012
An unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) or autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is a marine robot [1] used for a wide range of oceanographic and military tasks including underwater surveys, inspection of submerged structures, tracking oceanographic features, undersea mapping, laying undersea cable, searching for downed aircraft, and finding naval sea mines,

Towards Deliberative Control in Marine Robotics

2012
We describe a general purpose artificial-intelligence-based control architecture that incorporates in situ decision making for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The Teleo-reactive executive (T-REX) framework deliberates about future states, plans for actions, and executes generated activities while monitoring plans for anomalous conditions.
