With growing worldwide interest in commercial, scientific, and military issues associated with
both oceans and shallow waters, there has been a corresponding growth in demand for the …

A reliable yet economical unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has been developed for the
bathymetric surveying of lakes. The system combines an autonomous navigation framework …

The high performance and efficiency of multiple unmanned surface vehicles (multi-USV)
promote the further civilian and military applications of coordinated USV. As the basis of …

In the coming years, the future of military combat will include, on one hand, artificial
intelligence-optimized complex command, control, communications, computers, intelligence …

Unmanned surface vehicle (USV) formation is a hot topic of current research. Path planning
is the core technology for USV formation. This paper focuses on a USV formation path …

In this article, a reinforcement learning (RL)-based strategy for unmanned surface vehicle
(USV) path following control is developed. The proposed method learns integrated guidance …

Australia is a maritime nation, relying on access to its surrounding oceans for its economy
and security. The Royal Australian Navy conducts undersea surveillance to monitor this vital …

In this paper, the ant colony optimization (ACO) method is used to identify the parameters of
a 3‐DOF nonlinear vessel model. Identifying the parameters is abstracted as a nonlinear …

The whirligig beetle, claimed to be one of the most energy-efficient swimmers in the animal
kingdom, has evolved a series of propulsion strategies that may serve as a source of …

Since Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are relatively light weight and have a large
windage area, they are sensitive to wind disturbances, especially during station-keeping …
