Underwater navigation presents several challenges, including unstructured unknown
environments, lack of reliable localization systems (eg, GPS), and poor visibility …

Consider the case where autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are deployed to monitor
a 3D underwater environment. This paper tackles the problem of guiding all AUVs to the …

We present algorithms for environment exploration in the context of a habitat monitoring
task, where the goal is to track radio-tagged invasive fish with autonomous surface or …

This article handles building underwater sensor networks autonomously using multiple
surface ships. For building underwater sensor networks in 3D workspace with many …

We seek to rigorously evaluate the benefit of using a few beams rather than a single beam
for a low-cost obstacle avoidance sonar for small AUVs. For a small low-cost AUV, the …

Underwater robot localisation is challenging as it cannot rely on sensors such as the GPS
due to electromagnetic wave attenuation or optical cameras due to water turbidity. SONARs …

In this paper, we seek to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel forward-looking sonar system
with a limited number of beams for collision avoidance for small autonomous underwater …

A robotic boat is moving between two points when it encounters an obstacle of unknown
size. The boat must find a short path around the obstacle to resume its original course. How …

In this dissertation, we seek to improve collision avoidance for autonomous underwater
vehicles (AUVs). More specifically, we consider the case of a small AUV using a forward …

The Large Scale Marine Debris (LSMD), or drifting objects, pose a serious threat to
navigation safety, be they containers, dispersed cargo, large trunks, marine animals, small …
