Limitations of Vision Guided Underwater Navigation [PDF]
Abstract Underwater vehicles that are equipped with an on-board camera can utilize the captured frames to perceive the 3D structure of the ocean floor and thus perform safe underwater self-navigation. The focal length, frame rate and exposure time, which determine the frame capturing process, in association with the speed of the vehicle determine the

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...
