Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly being used for underwater survey
and exploration missions. The expanding mission scope for AUVs highlights the need for a …

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) docking technique attracts attention which leverages
the long-term, on-station vehicle launch and recovery for the underwater missions. In this …

This paper investigates capability and efficiency of utilizing the inverse dynamics in the
virtual domain (IDVD) method to provide the real-time updates of feasible trajectory for an …

The homing problem of autonomous underwater vehicle with constraints and bounded
disturbances is studied in this paper. More specifically, a nonlinear model predictive control …

During the implementation of time-consuming tasks such as underwater observation or
detection, AUV has to face a difficult and urgent problem that its working duration is greatly …

Precise guidance is the primary requirement for the reliable homing of autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUV). The necessity for accurate short-range position tracking arises …

Accurate localization is a critical task in underwater navigation. Typical localization methods
use a set of acoustic sensors and beacons to estimate relative position, whose geometric …

AUV docking devices have the ability to achieve homing of the AUV, supply the AUV with
energy, and exchange data with it, thus improving the endurance and ensuring the …

The concept of underwater docking stations has long been proposed to support the long
term deployment of AUVs, but the number of successful solutions is still very disappointing …

The paper presents a robust control law for homing of an autonomous robot. The proposed
work aims to solve this problem for practical conditions such as random errors in …
