The deep ocean, Earth's untouched expanse, presents immense challenges for exploration
due to its extreme pressure, temperature, and darkness. Unlike traditional marine robots that …

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 seafloor covers some 70% of the Earth's surface and has been recognised as a major
sink for marine litter. Still, litter on the seafloor is the least investigated fraction of marine …

This chapter surveys the problem of navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV
s). Navigation is critical for the safety and effectiveness of AUV missions. The unavailability …

Covering about three quarters of the surface area of the earth, the ocean is a critical source
of sustenance, medicine, and commerce. However, such vast expanse in both surface area …

Visual systems are receiving increasing attention in underwater applications. While the
photogrammetric and computer vision literature so far has largely targeted shallow water …

Reliable power supply, precise position determination and effective communication are the
key requirements for strategic autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) involved in long …

In this paper we describe the design and control algorithms of AMOUR, a low-cost
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) capable of missions of marine survey and …

The long baseline (LBL) underwater navigation paradigm relies on the conversion of travel
times into pseudoranges to trilaterate position. For real-time autonomous underwater vehicle …

This paper describes a two week deployment of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)
Sirius on the Tasman Peninsula in SE Tasmania and in the Huon Marine Protected Area …
