The Intelligent Control System and Experiments for an Unmanned Wave Glider. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The control system designing of Unmanned Wave Glider (UWG) is challenging since the control system is weak maneuvering, large time-lag and large disturbance, which is difficult to establish accurate mathematical model.

A Novel and More Efficient Oscillating Foil for Wave-Driven Unmanned Surface Vehicles [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 In the wave-driven unmanned surface vehicles (WUSVs), oscillating-foils are the most straightforward and widely used wave energy conversion mechanism, like the wave glider. However, WUSVs usually sail slowly compared with other types of USVs.

Ocean glider flight in the presence of surface waves [PDF]
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2021 AbstractAutonomous, buoyancy-driven ocean gliders are increasingly used as a platform for the measurement of turbulence microstructure. In the processing of such measurements, there is a sensitive (quartic) dependence of the turbulence dissipation rate, ϵ, on the speed of flow past the sensors, or alternatively, the speed of the glider through the ...
