Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation and localization in underwater
environments is particularly challenging due to the rapid attenuation of Global Positioning …

An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an economical and safe tool that is well-suited
for search, investigation, identification, and salvage operations on the sea floor. Path …

Localisation, ie estimation of one's position in a given environment is a crucial element of
many mobile systems, manned and unmanned. Due to the high demand for autonomous …

The autonomy of robotic underwater vehicles is dependent on the ability to perform long-
term and long-range missions without need of human intervention. While current state-of-the …

We present a novel method for planning coverage paths for inspecting complex structures
on the ocean floor using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Our method initially …

Terrain‐aided navigation (TAN) is a localisation method which uses bathymetric
measurements for bounding the growth in inertial navigation error. The minimisation of …

This paper presents comprehensive testing and analysis of a particle filter (PF) framework
for real-time terrain navigation on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The goal is to …

In this paper, we present an active SLAM framework for volumetric exploration of 3D
underwater environments with multibeam sonar. Recent work in integrated SLAM and …

This paper presents an approach to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) suitable
for efficient bathymetric mapping that does not require explicit identification, tracking, or …

We present an efficient and featureless approach to bathymetric simultaneous localization
and mapping (SLAM) that utilizes a Rao–Blackwellized particle filter (RBPF) and Gaussian …
