Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

Journal 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.

Path-Following Control of Unmanned Vehicles Based on Optimal Preview Time Model Predictive Control

World Electric Vehicle Journal
In order to reduce the lateral error of path-following control of unmanned vehicles under variable curvature paths, we propose a path-following control strategy for unmanned vehicles based on optimal preview time model predictive control (OP-MPC).
