Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) are marine vessels capable of performing various
marine operations without a crew in a variety of cluttered and hostile water/ocean …

With growing worldwide interest in commercial, scientific, and military issues associated with
both oceans and shallow waters, there has been a corresponding growth in demand for the …

Efficient path planning is a critical issue for the navigation of modern unmanned surface
vehicles (USVs) characterized by a complex operating environment having dynamic …

In this paper, we consider attitude control for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with
input nonlinearities and unknown disturbances taken into account. The dynamics model in …

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have been widely employed in ocean survey,
monitoring, and search and rescue tasks for both civil and military applications. It is …

This paper investigates the distributed time-varying formation control for a swarm of under-
actuated autonomous surface vehicles subject to unknown input gains, in addition to model …

Ship autonomous collision avoidance has attracted increasing attention in recent years.
However, more attention is paid to the scenario in which the target ship keeps its course and …

Traditional rigid robots, such as those used in manufacturing, have been effective at precise,
accurate, rapid motions in well-structured environments for many decades now. However …

This paper proposes a path-following control method for an unmanned surface vessel (USV)
based on an identified dynamic model. To handle the USV dynamic model effectively, a …

The intelligent navigation system of autonomous ships aims at making fully autonomous
navigation decisions to replace the work of seafarers. Realizing intelligent navigation …
