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 …

This paper addresses the problems of navigation and source localization by mobile agents
based on the range to a single source, in addition to relative velocity readings. The …

This paper addresses the problem of distributed state estimation in a multi-vehicle
framework. Each vehicle aims to estimate its own state relying on locally available …

Successful navigation of a rigid-body traveling with six degrees of freedom (6 DoF) requires
accurate estimation of attitude, position, and linear velocity. The true navigation dynamics …

This article proposes an inertial navigation algorithm intended to lower the negative
consequences of the absence of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals on the …

This paper addresses the observability analysis for the single beacon localization problem
of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) modeled as a double integrator where its …

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) have become increasingly popular for their ability to harvest
clean offshore wind energy. Bottom-fixed foundations are the most used foundation type …

This technical note presents the design, analysis, and performance evaluation of a novel
globally asymptotically stable (GAS) filter for attitude estimation. The design is sensor-driven …

This paper presents the design, analysis, and performance evaluation of a novel cascade
observer for attitude estimation. A sensor-based observer, which resorts to rate gyro …

The problem of estimating the position of a 3-D vehicle subject to a constant unknown
velocity disturbance is addressed: the only available model output is assumed to be the …
