Improving the energy efficiency of autonomous underwater vehicles by learning to model disturbances [PDF]
, 2013 Energy efficiency is one of the main challenges for long-term autonomy of AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles). We propose a novel approach for improving the energy efficiency of AUV controllers based on the ability to learn which external disturbances ...

Study of underwater laser propulsion using different target materials
Optics Express, 2014 In order to investigate the influence of target materials, including aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti) and copper (Cu), on underwater laser propulsion, the analytical formula of the target momentum IT is deduced from the enhanced coupling theory of laser propulsion in atmosphere with transparent overlay metal target.

On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.
