Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operate in the three-dimensional and time-
dependent marine environment with strong and dynamic currents. Our goal is to predict the …

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are a valuable resource in several oceanic
applications such as security, surveillance and data collection for ocean prediction. These …

In this paper, we consider the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) trajectory planning
problem under the influence of a realistic 3D current as simulated by an ocean general …

This paper develops a new approach for solving optimal time and energy trajectory planning
problems for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in transient, 3D, ocean currents …

Path planning is a key technology for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation.
With the emphasis and research on AUV, AUV path planning technology is continuously …

We report the results of sea exercises that demonstrate the real-time capabilities of our
fundamental time-optimal path planning theory and software with real ocean vehicles. The …

From naval operations to ocean science missions, the importance of autonomous vehicles is
increasing with the advances in underwater robotics technology. Due to the dynamic and …

This paper seeks to enhance the autonomy of underwater vehicles. The proposed approach
takes as input a mission specified via a regular language and automatically plans a collision …

We present a numerical method for minimum time heading control of fixed speed AUVs
(autonomous underwater vehicles) such as gliders in known, spatially complex, 2D, time …

Many missions require unmanned surface vehicles to operate in complex environments over
large distances. Marine environments are dynamic in nature and change over time as a …
