How do we self-localize large teams of underwater nodes using only noisy range
measurements? How do we do it in a distributed way, and incorporating dynamics into the …

How can teams of artificial agents localize and position themselves in GPS-denied
environments? How can each agent determine its position from pairwise ranges, own …

In their quest to study the intricate underwater ecosystems, oceanographic scientists need
spatially-rich data that is collected within the moving reference frame created by the oceans' …

We examine the problem of jointly determining the positions of multiple underwater vehicles
based on a set of pairwise range and bearing measurements taken over time. This extends …

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are expected to support a variety of civilian
and military applications. Sensed data can only be interpreted meaningfully when …

A myriad of ocean processes affect life on the planet and are a source of intrigue to
oceanographers and scientists. Understanding these processes and their interactions with …

Many ocean processes, both biological and physical, greatly depend on and interact with
the intrinsic current dynamics of the underwater environment. A promising approach to …

Underwater acoustic localization (UWAL) is a key element in most underwater
communication applications. The absence of GPS as well as the signal propagation …

In this paper, we present a system capable of simultaneously estimating the position of an
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and the positions of stationary range-only beacons …

Localization is a crucial requirement for mobile underwater systems. Real-time position
information is needed for control and navigation of underwater vehicles, in early warning …
