Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been focused on by research
efforts because of their extensive applications in scientific, commercial as well as military …

The inspection of aquatic environments is a challenging activity, which is made more difficult
if the environment is complex or confined, such as those that are found in nuclear storage …

Aiming to deal with underwater localization for small-size robots in GPS-denied and
structured environment, this paper proposed a novel multi-sensor fusion-based self …

One of the major tasks in environmental protection is monitoring the coast for negative
impacts due to climate change and anthropopressure. Remote sensing techniques are often …

Cooperative hunting by a multi-AUV system in unknown 3D underwater environment is not
only a research hot spot but also a challenging task. To conduct this task, each AUV needs …

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) operations are limited by currently achievable
underwater localization and navigation solutions; hence, the development of low-cost and …

The high-precision localization module is an essential component of unmanned underwater
vehicles (UUVs), providing critical parameter information for motion control, decision …

Autonomous navigation is an important task for unmanned vehicles operating both on the
surface and underwater. A sophisticated solution for autonomous non-global navigational …

In this work we present a SLAM framework using the popular AprilTag fiducials for obtaining
precise, drift-free pose estimates of an underwater vehicle. The framework also allows for …

Despite the recent progress, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) are largely unsolved
for agile micro autonomous underwater vehicles (μAUVs). Hereby, robust and accurate self …
