Unmanned aerial and aquatic vehicle networks have attracted the attention of the wireless
communication research community in the last decade. The low manufacturing costs for …

Robotic systems are becoming more ubiquitous, whether on land, in the air, or in water. In
the aquatic realm, aquatic drones including ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) and AUVs …

This paper presents the problem of application of modern developments in the field of bio-
energy for the development of autonomous mobile robots' power sources. We carried out …

Water hydraulic variable ballast system (WHVBS) is a competitive mechanism to realize the
hovering system which is one of the most popular ways to expand the maneuvering …

This paper aims to achieve a simplified and effective vertical-plane tracking control for a kind
of fin-driven under-actuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). To this end, a two …

The present work proposes the design of a hydrodynamic profile for unmanned submarine
devices through numerical simulation, thus facilitating experimental studies and reducing …

Ocean monitoring requirements have fomented the evolution of sensor platforms such as
Lagrangian drifters, whose autonomy is a critical factor in the design process. Energy …

Hypoxia in coastal ecosystems is increasing as a result of water quality declines from
nutrient pollution. Hypoxia negatively affects fish populations and marine life, limiting their …

With its strong endurance and high maneuverability, an underwater gliding snake-like robot
(UGSR) is a strong potential candidate for aquatic exploration and monitoring. The major …

This paper presents the design of an obstacle avoidance algorithm for Guanay II AUV. The
obstacle detection system disposes a SONAR and its use guarantees the safety in …
