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 …

The development of precise and robust navigation strategies for Autonomous Underwater
Vehicles (AUVs) is fundamental to reach the high level of performance required by complex …

Underwater robots have been an emerging research area being at the intersection of the
field of robotics and oceanic engineering. Their applications include environmental …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle are widely used in industries, such as marine resource
exploitation and fish farming, but they are often subject to a large amount of interference …

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 existing propeller-driven, cruising AUVs operate with a support ship and have an
endurance of about one day. However, many oceanographic processes evolve over days or …

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 …

The oceans cover more than two-thirds of the planet, representing the vastest part of natural
resources. Nevertheless, only a fraction of the ocean depths has been explored. Within this …

Underwater gliders, which glide through water columns by use of a pair of wings, are
efficient long-distance, long-duration marine environment observatory platforms. The Sea …

In this paper, we propose an underwater object detection method using monocular vision
sensors. In addition to commonly used visual features such as color and intensity, we …
