Fuzzy logic control, due to its simple control structure, easy and cost-effective design, has
been successfully employed to the application of guidance and control in robotic fields. This …

Ocean scientists have dreamed of and recently started to realize an ocean observing
revolution with autonomous observing platforms and sensors. Critical questions to be …

We combine decision theory with fundamental stochastic time-optimal path planning to
develop partial-differential-equations-based schemes for risk-optimal path planning in …

Accounting for uncertainty in optimal path planning is essential for many applications. We
present and apply stochastic level-set partial differential equations that govern the stochastic …

Predictive dynamical models for marine ecosystems are used for a variety of needs. Due to
the sparse measurements and limited understanding of the myriad of ocean processes …

The sensitivity of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) upper ocean circulation and thermohaline
structure to varying wind strengths and river salinity conditions is investigated using a set of …

High-impact ocean weather events and climate extremes can have devastating effects on
coastal zones and small islands. Marine Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is a systematic …

We obtain, solve, and verify fundamental differential equations for energy–time path
planning in dynamic flows. The equations govern the energy–time reachable sets, optimal …

The widely-used Global Positioning System (GPS) does not work underwater. This presents
a severe limitation on the communication capabilities and deployment options for undersea …

With advances in engineering and technology, mining the deep sea for untapped rare metal
resources from the bottom of the ocean has recently become economically viable. However …
