Experimental Verification of a Depth Controller using Model Predictive Control with Constraints onboard a Thruster Actuated AUV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this work a depth and pitch controller for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is developed. This controller uses the model predictive control method to manoeuvre the vehicle whilst operating within the defined constraints of the AUV actuators ...

Autonomous Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Development Tendencies

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2015
AbstractThis article gives a brief overview of the AUV development history from the beginning to the present day. We have considered different types of AUV from remote operated vehicles (ROV) to biomimetic AUV. Our goal is to define the vector of AUV development at an early date on the basis of the AUV history.

MXene‐Coated 3D Printed Horn Antennas for Ku Frequency Band

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An additive manufacturing approach to 3D printing horn antennas and coating them with Ti3C2Tx MXene is proposed. Rapid fabrication of lightweight, high‐performance antennas operating in the Ku‐band (12.4–18 GHz) has been demonstrated. The MXene‐coated antennas exhibit comparable electromagnetic performance to conventional, costly aluminum ones, with ...
