Autonomous platforms already make observations over a wide range of temporal and spatial
scales, measuring salinity, temperature, nitrate, pressure, oxygen, biomass, and many other …

Underwater surveillance has traditionally been carried out by means of surface and
undersea manned vessels equipped with advanced sensor systems. This approach is often …

As maritime and military missions become more and more complex and multifactorial over
the years, there has been a high interest in the research and development of (autonomous) …

Complex maritime missions, both above and below the surface, have traditionally been
carried out by manned surface ships and submarines equipped with advanced sensor …

Autonomy, cooperation and data fusion can increase the performance of robotic networks in
many underwater applications. In this paper, we describe a novel occupancy grid (OG) …

Cooperative autonomy and data sharing can largely improve the mission performance of
robotic networks in underwater surveillance applications. In this paper, we describe the …

Realisation of underwater robotic surveillance networks raises several challenges for
marine robotics. The underwater scenario is typically characterised by intermittent and …

We address the problem of building the perception layer for controlling a network of
autonomous, sensorised robots in an underwater surveillance application. To this purpose …

Abstract Using a Maritime Unmanned System (MUS) always involves a trade-off between
the ability to autonomously accomplish tasks of increasing difficulty and the possibility for a …

Robotics networks for underwater surveillance applications offer the promise for the desired
monitoring at lower costs than traditional approaches based on manned assets. Autonomy …
