Risk and reliability modelling for multi-vehicle marine domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It is well-known that autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) missions are a challenging, high-risk robotics application. With many parallels to Mars rovers, AUV missions involve operating a vehicle in an inherently uncertain environment of which our prior ...

Multi-AUV Cooperative Target Hunting Based on Improved Potential Field in a Surface-Water Environment

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
In this paper, target hunting aims to detect target and surround the detected target in a surface-water using Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (multi-AUV) in a given area. The main challenge in multi-AUV target hunting is the design of AUV’s

Autonomous & adaptive oceanographic front tracking on board autonomous underwater vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Oceanic fronts, similar to atmospheric fronts, occur at the interface of two fluid (water) masses of varying characteristics. In regions such as these where there are quantifiable physical, chemical, or biological changes in the ocean environment, it is ...

Reliability indexes for multi-AUV cooperative systems

open access: yesJournal of Systems Engineering and Electronics, 2017
With the development of multi-autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) cooperative systems, the evaluation of their reliability is becoming more and more important. Aimed at the characteristics of the system, three reliability indexes-standard entropy of rank distribution, all-terminal reliability and standard natural connectivity are determined in this ...

Decentralized cooperative trajectory estimation for autonomous underwater vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Autonomous agents that can communicate and make relative measurements of each other can improve their collective localization accuracies. This is referred to as cooperative localization (CL).

Self-Spiking Linear Neuromorphic Soft Pressure Sensor for Underwater Sensing Applications. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Mater
This study presents a novel design of a neuromorphic pressure sensor that can generate self‐spiking symmetric signals with direct event‐based encoding through the integration of magnetic spheres and alternating coil circuits. The key advantages of this work include high linearity up to 200 kPa (R2 = 0.997), self‐spiking behavior for simplified signal ...

Distributed multi-AUV cooperation methods for underwater archaeology [PDF]

open access: yesOCEANS 2015 - Genova, 2015
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are a useful tool for science and industry. They significantly reduce the risk to humans in operations in hazardous and high cost situations. The use of multiple AUVs can enhance the operational capabilities by introducing specialisation of AUV capabilities and parallelising task execution.
