This chapter surveys the problem of navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV
s). Navigation is critical for the safety and effectiveness of AUV missions. The unavailability …

Underwater robot positioning and navigation achieve autonomous underwater robot
movement based on the premise that positioning obtains the coordinates of the relative …

In this Chapter the mathematical model of UVMSs is derived. Modeling of rigid bodies
moving in a fluid or underwater manipulators has been studied in literature by, among …

Formation control is a cooperative control concept in which multiple autonomous underwater
mobile robots are deployed for a group motion and/or control mission. This paper presents a …

The task of building a map of an unknown environment and concurrently using that map to
navigate is a central problem in mobile robotics research. This paper addresses the problem …

Obtaining spatially separated, high‐frequency water samples from rivers and lakes is critical
to enhance our understanding and effective management of freshwater resources. In this …

The development of two new classes of commercial underwater robotic vehicles-deep diving
work-class remotely operated vehicles and survey-class autonomous vehicles-is being …

Marine batteries are designed specifically for marine vehicles with heavier plates and robust
construction to withstand the vibration and pounding that can occur on board any …

In this paper, we examine the issues associated with docking autonomous underwater
vehicles (AUVs) operating within an Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network (AOSN). We …

In this paper, we examine the issues involved in designing battery systems and power-
transfer (charging) techniques for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operating …
