AUV play an important role in the exploration and utilization of the ocean. Underactuated
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are widely used in these missions due to the …

This paper studies the controller design for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with
the target tracking task. Considering the uncertainty the nonlinear longitudinal model, a …

This paper presents a study of depth tracking controller design for a hybrid AUV in the
presence of model uncertainty and propeller torque's effect. Firstly, the six degrees of …

There are concerns about the impact that global warming will have on our environment, and
which will inevitably result in expanding deserts and rising water levels. While a lot of …

This paper introduces an adaptive sampling strategy for a multi-vehicle sensor network to
explore an underwater biological system known as the pelagic scattering layer, which is a …

Recent decades have witnessed increased interest in the design, development and testing
of unmanned underwater vehicles for various civil and military missions. A great array of …

This paper addresses the problem of guidance and control of underwater vehicles. A multi-
level control strategy is used to determine (1) outer-loop path-following commands and (2) …

This article proposes a model predictive control (MPC)-based depth control system for the
gliding motion of a gliding robotic dolphin. An injector-based buoyancy-driven mechanism is …

This paper presents the design of an output feedback controller for an autonomous
underwater vehicle to achieve the task of path following in vertical plane. Using vehicle …

The development of a navigation system for autonomous robotic sailing is a particularly
challenging task since the sailboat robot uses unpredictable wind forces for its propulsion …
