Range-based target localization is an important class of problems that arise in an increasing
number of scientific and commercial missions at sea. Underwater target localization refers to …

Self‐positioning of submerged Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is a challenging
task due to nonavailability of GPS signals. One of the most recent solutions for this is the use …

A filtering algorithm is presented for discrete-time linear stochastic systems with polynomial
measurements. The techniques to evaluate its efficiency are proposed. The algorithm …

This study proposes a new method namely noncausal trajectory optimization which is
developed to obtain superior performance in range-only (ie distance and received signal …

Divers operate in harsh and poorly monitored environments, in which the slightest
unexpected disturbance, technical malfunction, or lack of attention can have catastrophic …

The paper addresses the problems of range-based marine vehicle positioning and target
localization. Vehicle positioning aims to estimate the positions of one or more vehicles from …

In the event of a failure that will prevent an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) from
executing a specified task, the vehicle must be recovered safely to avoid further damage to …

This paper is aimed at developing optimal motion planning for a single autonomous surface
vehicle (ASV) equipped with an on-board pollutant sensor that will maximize the sensor …

This paper summarizes the main accomplishments of the first year of the FP7 project
“CADDY-Cognitive Autonomous Diving Buddy”. The main objective of the project is to …

In the field of marine robotics, the problem of rangebased underwater target localization can
be defined as that of localizing an unknown-fixed or moving-target from a surface vehicle …
