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 …

Abstract While Deep Neural Network (DNN) models for ship maneuvering model are
commonly constructed using experimental model ships or simulation data, this study focuses …

The localisation and positioning in Wireless Sensor Node (WSN) are prone to tracking loss
because of battery depletion resulted from high power consumption. Considering this …

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 …

In an increasing number of scientific and commercial mission scenarios at sea, it is required
to simultaneously localize a group of underwater targets. The latter may include moored …

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 …

An underwater vehicle may utilize underwater transponders (UTs) for navigation in the
absence of global navigation satellite system signals. However, the position of each UT must …

This paper describes an underwater mobile target localization and tracking by using an
autonomous surface vehicle for which the successive ranges between the target and the …

This paper considers the problem of monitoring and adaptively estimating an environmental
field, such as temperature or salinity, using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The …
