Risk analysis for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is essential to assist decision
making for safer operations. This study aims to provide a systematic review of risk analysis …

Advances in hardware technology have enabled more integration of sophisticated software,
triggering progresses in development and employment of Unmanned Vehicles (UVs), and …

Traditionally autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have been built with a torpedo-like
shape. This common shaping is hydrodynamically suboptimal for those AUVs required to …

Physical-biological couplings impacting phytoplankton ecology are examined with synoptic,
high-resolution observations of Monterey Bay, California. Influences of submarine canyon …

Hydrodynamics plays a significant role in the underwater motions, environmental
disturbances, and kinematic characteristics of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) …

Frequently, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) must operate in turbulent ocean
environments with complex spatio-temporal variability. Energetic flows, instabilities and …

This article presents a distributed null-space-based behavioral (NSB) algorithm for the
formation path-following problem of vehicles moving in three dimensions. The algorithm is …

This article develops a novel mission-motion planner for unmanned underwater vehicles
(UUVs) when dispatching them to visit a set of marine stations in a vast and time-varying …

This paper presents a hybrid route-path planning model for an Autonomous Underwater
Vehicle's task assignment and management while the AUV is operating through the variable …

For some underwater applications that need lightweight manipulator and fine operation, a
novel piezoelectric actuated underwater mechanical manipulator two-degrees-of-freedom (2 …
