Using acoustic sensor technologies to create a more terrain capable unmanned ground vehicle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Unmanned Ground Vehicle’s (UGV) have to cope with the most complex range of dynamic and variable obstacles and therefore need to be highly intelligent in order to cope with navigating in such a cluttered environment.

Artificial potential field-based swarm finding of the unmanned surface vehicles in the dynamic ocean environment

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2020
Using multiple unmanned surface vehicle swarms to implement tasks cooperatively is the most advanced technology in recent years. However, how to find which swarm the unmanned surface vehicle belongs to is a meaningful job.

A new technique based on mini-UAS for estimating water and bottom radiance contributions in optically shallow waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The mapping of nearshore bathymetry based on spaceborne radiometers is commonly used for QC ocean colour products in littoral waters. However, the accuracy of these estimates is relatively poor with respect to those derived from Lidar systems due in part

Unmanned Surface Vehicle Simulator with Realistic Environmental Disturbances [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2019
The use of robotics in disaster scenarios has become a reality. However, an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) needs a robust navigation strategy to face unpredictable environmental forces such as waves, wind, and water current. A starting step toward this goal is to have a programming environment with realistic USV models where designers can assess their ...
