Uncertainty assessment for a novel optically shallow water radiometric acquisition platform

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel motorized platform, a custom‐built jet‐ski designed for acoustic and radiometric measurements in optically shallow coastal waters. This platform integrates in‐water radiometers with single‐beam and multi‐beam acoustic sensors, along with a suite of active and passive instruments (conductivity‐temperature‐depth, fluorescence,

Controlling Unmanned Surface Vehicle Rocket using GPS Tracking Method

open access: yesInternational Journal of Technology, 2017
An unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is operated on the water surface for specific purposes. USV can be used in waters that cannot be entered by crewed boats, such as environments with high levels of threat or that are contaminated by nuclear, biological,

Pesticide exposure of operators during mixing and loading a drone: towards a stratified exposure assessment

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Operators are exposed to concentrated formulation during mixing of pesticide into the nurse tank and to an in‐use dilution during loading the drone; stratification of exposure for mixing and loading would inform the exposure assessment approach by applying the appropriate dermal absorption considerations.

Fuzzy Logic Path Planning System for Collision Avoidance by an Autonomous Rover Vehicle [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Systems already developed at JSC have shown the benefits of applying fuzzy logic control theory to space related operations. Four major issues are addressed that are associated with developing an autonomous collision avoidance subsystem within a path ...

A review of the FATIMA Yellow Sea field campaign research

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The FATIMA marine fog project took place over the Sable Island region of eastern Canada (summer 2022) and the Yellow Sea of the Republic of Korea (ROK, summer 2023). Its goals are to improve marine fog monitoring and forecasting. Instrumented multiple research vessels, aircraft, tethered balloon and autonomous systems, ocean observation sites, and ...

Monocular Vision Guidance for Unmanned Surface Vehicle Recovery

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The positioning error of the GPS method at close distances is relatively large, rendering it incapable of accurately guiding unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) back to the mother ship. Therefore, this study proposes a near-distance recovery method for USVs

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.
