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.

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 ...
