Autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) have received considerable attention in the past few
decades, mainly because they play essential roles in broad marine applications such as …

The underwater terrain-aided navigation (TAN) method with a single beam echo sounder
(SBES) can achieve long-term underwater navigation. However, due to the limited …

The concept of region tracking control has advantages for underwater vehicles for some
special missions, such as pipeline tracking. This article develops a sphere region tracking …

This paper investigates the adaptive fault tolerant control problem for deep-sea vehicles
subject to thruster saturation, dead zone and measurement noise. In order to reduce the …

The use of underwater robot systems, including Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs),
has been studied as an effective way of monitoring and exploring dynamic aquatic …

Safety is a critical issue to be considered for a full-ocean-depth AUV, which is a platform to
submerge into the deepest part of the ocean. This paper investigates the security decision …

Due to the low motion efficiency and maneuver-ability of underwater robots with six degrees
of freedom, it is challenging for them to respond quickly to the attitude requirements during …

Autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) navigation in marine environments is challenging due to
the disturbances caused by water currents and their spatiotemporal variations. Existing …

Reliable autonomous robot navigation in dynamic environments with external disturbances
remains challenging. The Dynamic Window Approach (DWA) generates collision-free …

The Department of the Navy 2021 Unmanned Campaign Framework has identified a need
for increased capability in long-term autonomous maritime systems. In the context of this …
