The rapid technological development of computing power and system operations today
allows for increasingly advanced algorithm implementation, as well as path planning in real …

Underwater robots have been promoted a significant interest in monitoring the marine
environment. In some complex situation, robots sometimes need to keep moving fast …

This paper describes an improved three-dimensional (3D)-printed, low-cost, multi-functional,
high-maneuverability, high-concealment, turtle-inspired mobile amphibious spherical robot …

The application of miniature underwater robots in the marine area is becoming more
extensive. Occasionally, the ability of the single miniature underwater robot is limited by its …

During marine missions, autonomous underwater robots (AUVs) are susceptible to external
disturbances, such as obstacles and ocean currents, which can easily cause mission failure …

This paper depicts the structural design of a novel water-jet-based spherical underwater
robot. The propulsion system is made up of four water-jet thrusters and 8 steering servo …

With the development of underwater technology, it is important to develop a wide range of
autonomous and remotely operated underwater vehicles for various tasks. Depending on …
