Experiments with Cooperative Control of Underwater Robots [PDF]
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2009 In this paper we describe cooperative control algorithms for robots and sensor nodes in an underwater environment. Cooperative navigation is defined as the ability of a coupled system of autonomous robots to pool their resources to achieve long-distance navigation and a larger controllability space.
