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

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation and localization in underwater
environments is particularly challenging due to the rapid attenuation of Global Positioning …

To solve the problem of unknown noise covariance matrices inherent in the cooperative
localization of autonomous underwater vehicles, a new adaptive extended Kalman filter is …

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 …

This paper investigates the problem of active localization of a moving object in its initial
position and velocity, using time delay only or with Doppler shift measurements acquired by …

Multi-robot deployments have the potential for completing tasks more efficiently. For
example, in simultaneous localization and map** (SLAM), robots can better localize …

This paper presents an acoustic localization system for small and low-cost autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUVs). Accurate and robust localization for low-cost AUVs would lower …

We report a decentralized extended information filter (DEIF) algorithm designed for single-
beacon cooperative acoustic navigation of one or more client underwater vehicles. In single …

This paper addresses the problem of range-based autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)
localization in the presence of unknown ocean currents. In the setup adopted, the AUV is …

This paper addresses the problem of optimal acoustic sensor placement for underwater
target localization in 3-D using range measurements only. By adopting an estimation …
