Path following control of the wave glider in waves and currents
Ocean Engineering, 2019Abstract The wave glider is a type of wave-propelled, persistent, unmanned ocean vehicle, which has wide application prospects in marine environmental monitoring, marine ecological research, military, etc. However, due to the low speed and weak maneuvering features, it is challenging to control the wave glider accurately under the environmental ...

Research on turning maneuverability of submerged glider of the wave glider
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part M: Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment, 2020Turning Maneuverability is an important hydrodynamic performance of the wave glider, which can realize the position keeping, path tracking and steering obstacle avoidance in a reliable way. The influences on the maneuverability of the relevant parameters of the rudder are analyzed by using the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method in this paper ...

Wave Glider–Enhanced Vertical Seafloor Geodesy
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2020AbstractWe have developed a low-cost approach for accurately measuring short-term vertical motions of the seafloor and maintaining a continuous long-term record of seafloor pressure without the requirement for costly ship time. We equipped the University of Hawai‘i Liquid Robotics Wave Glider with an integrated acoustic telemetry package, a dual ...

Lagrangian Modelling of an Underwater Wave Glider
Ship Technology Research, 2012AbstractThis paper introduces a control-oriented modelling approach for a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle, the Underwater Wave Glider. The vehicle can accomplish both surface and underwater tasks by changing its shape: it can operate as a wave glider at the sea surface, exploiting wave and solar energy to recharge the onboard batteries, and switch

Dynamic modeling of a wave glider
Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering, 2017We propose a method to establish a dynamic model for a wave glider, a wave-propelled sea surface vehicle that can make use of wave energy to obtain thrust. The vehicle, composed of a surface float and a submerged glider in sea water, is regarded as a two-particle system. Kane’s equations are used to establish the dynamic model. To verify the model, the

The Wave Glider: A Wave-Powered autonomous marine vehicle
OCEANS 2009, 2009The Wave Glider is a new autonomous marine vehicle that is unique in its ability to harness ocean wave energy for platform propulsion. This paper provides an overview of the Wave Glider vehicle's architecture and capabilities, and presents results from the extensive engineering sea trials that we have conducted with several prototype and the current ...

Autonomous front tracking by a Wave Glider
OCEANS 2016 MTS/IEEE Monterey, 2016Coastal upwelling brings cooler, saltier, and nutrient-rich deep water upward to the surface. Upwelling fronts support enriched phytoplankton and zooplankton populations, thus having great influences on ocean ecosystems. We have developed a method to enable a Wave Glider (an autonomous surface vehicle) to autonomously detect and track an upwelling ...
