As one of the most effective vehicles for ocean development and exploration, underwater
gliding robots (UGRs) have the unique characteristics of low energy consumption and strong …

This paper presents a thorough approach characterizing the spiraling motion of underwater
gliders. The dynamic model for underwater gliders, steered by a single internal movable and …

Underwater glider is one of the most promising autonomous observation platforms for long-
term ocean observation, which can glide through water columns by adjusting its buoyancy …

Energy consumption and motion accuracy are both important performance metrics for
underwater gliders, which are closely related to the glider control parameters values. For the …

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Marine Robotics Technical Committee
(MRTC) was first established in 2008 following the dismissal of the Underwater Robotics …

Most underwater gliders (UGs) operate on battery power, making energy a decisive factor for
their duration and gliding range. Therefore, low power consumption technology is of great …

Ocean observation is the prerequisite for the human to cognize and develop the ocean. Most
autonomous ocean-observation platforms (AOOPs), for their limited endurance, cannot cope …

As a type of enduring platform for ocean exploration, underwater glider usually contains
some uncertain parameters in actual engineering applications, which are related to …

Recently, underwater glider has become an effective tool for long-term ocean exploration.
Controllable wing technology, which can improve comprehensive performance of …

Underwater gliders are well known as a type of enduring platform for underwater
exploration; nevertheless, they have also been criticised in terms of their compromised …
