Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been focused on by research
efforts because of their extensive applications in scientific, commercial as well as military …

This chapter surveys the problem of navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV
s). Navigation is critical for the safety and effectiveness of AUV missions. The unavailability …

The autonomy of robotic underwater vehicles is dependent on the ability to perform long-
term and long-range missions without need of human intervention. While current state-of-the …

The goals of this article are twofold. First, we detail the operations and discuss the results of
the 2005 Chios ancient shipwreck survey. This survey was conducted by an international …

This paper describes a navigation system for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in
partially structured environments, such as dams, harbors, marinas, and marine platforms. A …

Underwater terrain aided navigation (TAN) has shown its potential to yield accurate
navigational results for long-term operation of underwater vehicles. Due to its independence …

Vehicle operations in underwater environments are often compromised by poor visibility
conditions. For instance, the perception range of optical devices is heavily constrained in …

Bathymetric simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods have shown their
potential in deep-sea navigation and mapping for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) …

Robotics is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension. From a largely
dominant industrial focus, robotics is rapidly expanding into human en-ronments and …

This paper proposes a pose-based algorithm to solve the full simultaneous localization and
mapping problem for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigating in unknown and …
