A Novel Single-Beacon Navigation Method for Group AUVs Based on SIMO Model

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Single-beacon navigation for group autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) suffers from long navigation period and asynchronization. This paper addresses the problem by introducing the single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) model, where, a single AUV ...

Hybrid maneuver for gradient search with multiple coordinated AUVs

open access: yesIFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2004
Abstract This work presents a hybrid maneuver for gradient search with multiple AUV's. The mission consists in following a gradient field in order to locate the source of a hydrothermal vent orunderwater freshwater source. The formation gradient search exploits the environment structuring by the phenomena to be studied.

Synchronized path following control of multiple homogenous underactuated AUVs

open access: yesJournal of Systems Science and Complexity, 2012
This paper addresses the problem of synchronized path following of multiple homogenous underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The dedicated control laws are categorized into two envelopes: One is steering individual underwater vehicle to track along predefined path, and the other is ensuring tracked paths of multiple vehicles to be ...
