Monitoring marine mammal acoustics using Wave Glider
OCEANS 2010 MTS/IEEE SEATTLE, 2010The Wave Glider, a wave-powered unmanned maritime vehicle (UMV), represents a novel and unique approach to persistent ocean presence. Wave Gliders harvest the abundant energy contained in ocean waves to provide essentially limitless propulsion. The Wave Glider can operate as a vessel, covering long distances in the ocean, or as a station-keeping ...

Lagrangian modeling of the Underwater Wave Glider
OCEANS 2011 IEEE - Spain, 2011This paper introduces a control-oriented modeling approach for a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle: the Underwater Wave Glider. Thanks to a non-conventional design, the vehicle can accomplish both surface and underwater tasks, by changing its shape. The vehicle can operate as a wave glider at the sea surface, where the potential energy of the waves ...

Estimation of wave glider dynamics for precise positioning
OCEANS'11 MTS/IEEE KONA, 2011The wave glider is a new autonomous surface platform with unique capabilities for persistent observation in a variety of marine environments. The applications of this novel technology continue to expand; some of the potential oceano-graphic applications will require precise positioning and navigation beyond the platforms current capabilities.

Dynamic Modeling and Motion Simulation for Wave Glider
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013Wave gliders as innovative autonomous ocean-going vehicles harvest the abundant marine natural energy for persistent ocean environment monitoring. This paper analyzes wave glider’s operating mechanism and builds the dynamic model of wave glider. By simplifying the model into 3 DOS in longitudinal plane and selecting three generalized velocity, the ...

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Submarine of the Wave Glider
Advanced Materials Research, 2013Wave glider harvests the abundant ocean wave energy for long term ocean cruising due to its particular two-part architecture. Its submerged part named glider converts vertical fluctuation of waves to horizontally forward propulsion. Because of the uncertainty of the ocean condition and irregularity of its wave motion, the design parameters of the ...

Tracking tagged fish using a wave glider
OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington, 2015In this paper, we show how using a Liquid Robotics Wave Glider can allow for a mobile and comprehensive solution for detecting tagged animals in real time and characterizing their environment. We will compare the Wave Glider based solution to more traditional buoy and boat based solutions and note the unique advantages of this novel, new technology ...

Wave Glider—A platform for persistent monitoring of algal blooms
OCEANS'11 MTS/IEEE KONA, 2011Wave glider (WG) is a novel autonomous surface vehicle that uses energy from surface waves for propulsion and an array of solar panels to power the sensor and hotel payloads. In this paper, we test the applicability of the WG platform for persistent monitoring of algal biomass distribution in Monterey Bay, CA.
