Supervisory switching control of an unmanned surface vehicle [PDF]
OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington, 2015 A novel method to determine the switching of controllers to increase the performance of a system is presented. Three controllers are utilized to capture three behaviors representative of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). An underactuated nonlinear controller is derived to transit the vehicle between locations; a fully-actuated nonlinear controller is ...

Visual Pose Estimation of Rescue Unmanned Surface Vehicle From Unmanned Aerial System [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2019 This article addresses the problem of how to visually estimate the pose of a rescue unmanned surface vehicle (USV) using an unmanned aerial system (UAS) in marine mass casualty events. A UAS visually navigating the USV can help solve problems with teleoperation and manpower requirements.
