Low-level control of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) has been extensively
addressed by classical control techniques. However, the variable operating conditions and …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are becoming increasingly important for different
types of industrial applications. The generally high cost of AUVs restricts the access to them …

This paper presents a design rationale and describes the design of a biomimetic underwater
robot U-CAT. U-CAT is an autonomous, small-size and low cost vehicle, currently under …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are a useful tool for science and industry. They
significantly reduce the risk to humans in operations in hazardous and high cost situations …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are required to carry out a mission with minimum
supervision. Often, the AUV's hardware integrity is compromised amidst operation; thus …

Advances in robotics have allowed mobile robotic platforms to be deployed in an increased
number of field operations. The dynamic nature of the operating environment can constrain …

Energy awareness and fault tolerance are important aspects for extending the autonomy
levels of today's autonomous vehicles. With the aim of preparing the way for persistent …

This work introduces a low-cost energy measurement method and proposes a simple linear
model to estimate the vehicle energy consumption when navigating a given trajectory …

This paper presents the curriculum development of the Robotics and Intelligent Systems
Bachelor of Science program at Jacobs University, one of the very few bachelor robotics …

This paper is focused on improving the self-awareness of autonomous underwater vehicles
(AUVs) operating in unknown environments. A runtime estimation framework is introduced to …
