This paper reviews the development of underwater docking technology and compares the
advantages and disadvantages of various docking methods. Docking station types, acoustic …

Visual systems are receiving increasing attention in underwater applications. While the
photogrammetric and computer vision literature so far has largely targeted shallow water …

The exploration of oceans using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is necessary for
activities, such as the sustainable management of fishery resources, extraction of seafloor …

Underwater visual inspection is an important task for checking the structural integrity and
biofouling of the ship hull surface to improve the operational safety and efficiency of ships …

The underwater robot is one of the most important research tools in deep-sea exploration
where the high pressure, extreme darkness, and radio attenuation prevent direct access. In …

This paper proposes a resident autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) system for
monitoring around an underwater infrastructure using an AUV and a seafloor station (SS) …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are becoming increasingly important for different
types of industrial applications. The generally high cost of AUVs restricts the access to them …

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have advantage that they do not require tether
cables or human control. AUVs have recently been used for seafloor observation. However …

This study proposes a navigation method of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles
(AUVs) where low‐cost AUVs (child AUVs) estimate their self‐states including their position …

This letter reports the sea experiments of a navigation method for multiple autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUVs) that relies on a single high-performance AUV, which can …
