Exploring Underwater Environments with Curiosity [PDF]
2014 Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision, 2014 This paper presents a novel approach to modeling curiosity in a mobile robot, which is useful for monitoring and adaptive data collection tasks. We use ROST, a real time topic modeling framework to build a semantic perception model of the environment, using which, we plan a path through the locations in the world with high semantic information content.

Underwater light environment in Arctic fjords
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Abstract. Most inhabitants of the Arctic live near the coastline, which includes fjord systems where socio-ecological coupling with coastal communities is dominant. It is therefore critically important that the key aspects of Arctic fjords be measured as well as possible.

Battery-free wireless imaging of underwater environments
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractImaging underwater environments is of great importance to marine sciences, sustainability, climatology, defense, robotics, geology, space exploration, and food security. Despite advances in underwater imaging, most of the ocean and marine organisms remain unobserved and undiscovered.

Optimized Environment Exploration for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles [PDF]
2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2018 Achieving full autonomous robotic environment exploration in the underwater domain is very challenging, mainly due to noisy acoustic sensors, high localization error, control disturbances of the water and lack of accurate un- derwater maps. In this work we present a robotic exploration algorithm for underwater vehicles that does not rely on prior ...
