This paper surveys the recent advances in marine mechatronic systems from a control
perspective. The survey is by no means exhaustive, but introduces some notable results in …

As one of the most effective vehicles for ocean development and exploration, underwater
gliding robots (UGRs) have the unique characteristics of low energy consumption and strong …

Offshore mechatronics systems engineering has recently received high attentions in various
sectors such as energy, transportation, etc. Specifically, offshore robotic vehicles have …

This dissertation concerns modelling the dynamics of underwater gliders and application of
the model to analysis of glider dynamics, control, navigation, and design. Underwater gliders …

Hybrid aerial underwater vehicle is a novelty able to fly and swim, which is extensively
suitable for missions like water sampling, observing semi-submerged structure, and …

This paper presents a thorough approach characterizing the spiraling motion of underwater
gliders. The dynamic model for underwater gliders, steered by a single internal movable and …

Underwater glider is one of the most promising autonomous observation platforms for long-
term ocean observation, which can glide through water columns by adjusting its buoyancy …

A control approach is proposed for a class of underactuated vehicles in order to stabilize
reference trajectories either in thrust direction, velocity, or position. The basic modeling …

Ocean processes are dynamic and complex and occur on multiple spatial and temporal
scales. To obtain a synoptic view of such processes, ocean scientists collect data over long …

Energy consumption and motion accuracy are both important performance metrics for
underwater gliders, which are closely related to the glider control parameters values. For the …
