Location awareness is crucial for underwater applications; without it, gathered data would
be essentially useless. However, it is impossible to directly determine the location of an …

In the complex and dynamically varying underwater acoustic (UWA) channel, cooperative
communication can improve throughput for UWA sensor networks. In this paper, we design a …

The lateral line system is an essential mechanosensory organ for organisms such as fish; it
perceives the fluid environment in the near-field through the neuromasts on the lateral line …

This paper presents the design and implementation of BAICal (Intelligent Autonomous Buoy
by the University of Calabria), an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) developed at the …

In this paper, we present a prototype for the remote monitoring of underwater archaeological
sites. The system aims to provide autonomous and real-time data collection from …

Introduction Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are required to thoroughly scan
designated areas during underwater missions. They typically follow a zig-zag trajectory to …

In underwater localization systems several sources of error may impact in different ways the
accuracy of the final position estimates. Through simulations and statistical analysis it is …

Underwater cultural heritage sites represent an attractive and exciting experience for diving
tourists, even if often it is complicated for them to understand the significance and value of …

In order to solve the problem of inconsistent state estimation when multiple autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUVs) are co-located, this paper proposes a method of multi-AUV co …

In an autonomous underwater vehicles–(AUVs–) based optical‐acoustic hybrid network, it is
critical to achieve ultra high‐speed reliable communications, in order to reap the benefits of …
