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 …

Robotic systems are increasingly being utilized as fundamental data-gathering tools by
scientists, allowing new perspectives and a greater understanding of the planet and its …

This paper investigates the consensus tracking problem of second-order nonlinear
multiagent systems (MAS) with disturbance and actuator fault by the sliding mode control …

This paper addresses the cooperative path following the problem of ring-networked under-
actuated autonomous surface vehicles on a closed curve. A cooperative guidance law is …

In this paper, distributed formation tracking control with collision avoidance is addressed for
a group of under-actuated unmanned surface vehicles subject to physical constraints and …

This paper proposes a design methodology to stabilize isolated relative equilibria in a model
of all-to-all coupled identical particles moving in the plane at unit speed. Isolated relative …

A full‐scale adaptive ocean sampling network was deployed throughout the month‐long
2006 Adaptive Sampling and Prediction (ASAP) field experiment in Monterey Bay …

This paper proposes a design methodology to stabilize relative equilibria in a model of
identical, steered particles moving in the plane at unit speed. Relative equilibria either …

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are unmanned marine robots that have been used
for a broad range of oceanographic missions. They are programmed to perform at various …
