Towards building a safety case for Marine Unmanned Surface Vehicles: a Bayesian perspective [PDF]
, 2017 Marine Unmanned Surface Vehicles (MUSVs) are essential platforms for persistent and adaptable ocean monitoring and sampling. In order to operate these platforms in coastal areas or near oil and gas waters the MUSVs must meet statutorily and industry ...

IET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.A dual‐layer formation control with a predefined‐time and collision‐free strategy is studied in this work. Its upper layer utilises performance indicators, including tracking objectives to meet tracking control requirements. The lower layer tracks those trajectories to save computational and communication resources.

Electronics Letters, Volume 61, Issue 1, January/December 2025.To address the issues of short flight duration and the inability to carry high‐computation resources in small observation unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to limited energy and payload capacities, a deployment framework is proposed for an air–water surface collaborative observation system based on energy replenishment and computation offloading.

PBM‐YOLO: A Performance Balanced Floating Garbage Detection Model for Water Surface Environments
IET Image Processing, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.We propose a lightweight detection model, PBM‐YOLO, for floating garbage detection on water surfaces. Based on YOLOv8n, the model introduces a feature extraction module (FSEM) that integrates frequency and spatial information to enhance object representation.

Autonomous boat dynamics: how far away is simulation from the high sea? [PDF]
, 2017 The study demonstrates the process of implementing a 3-degrees-of-freedom surge-sway-yaw boat dynamic model in a numeric simulation environment. Estimated environmental disturbance force introduced in the simulation provides a scope for determining boat ...

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.1. An adaptive speed control method is proposed to execute the ship formation trajectory tracking task more efficiently and safely while entering port with tidal elevation variations. 2. A distributed ship formation controller based on the leader‒follower structure is designed to govern the coordinated motion of formation members more flexibly. 3.
