Abstract This paper addresses a practical problem arising in the calibration of bottom-lock doppler sonar for the navigation of underwater robot vehicles. Employing a least-squares...
— We present an algorithm for underwater robots to track mobile targets, and specifically human divers, by detecting periodic motion. Periodic motion is typically associated wit...
— This paper presents a novel technique to align partial 3D reconstructions of the seabed acquired by a stereo camera mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle. Vehicle localiz...
This paper is devoted to the problem of nonlinear robust control design for Underwater Vehicle/Manipulator (UVM) systems composed of a freefloating platform equipped with a robot ...
Abstract. For autonomy in underwater robotics it is essential to develop context-driven controllers, capable of leading from perception to action without human intervention. One of...
