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 …

Visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and map**) refers to the problem of using
images, as the only source of external information, in order to establish the position of a …

Kalman filters have received much attention with the increasing demands for robotic
automation. This paper briefly surveys the recent developments for robot vision. Among …

This paper presents a review of inspection-class Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). The
review divides the classification of inspection-class ROVs; categorising the vehicles in order …

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) revolutionized the subsea industry when they were
introduced in the 1960s. They were more powerful and inherently safer, and they could go …

Underwater robot positioning and navigation achieve autonomous underwater robot
movement based on the premise that positioning obtains the coordinates of the relative …

The autonomy of robotic underwater vehicles is dependent on the ability to perform long-
term and long-range missions without need of human intervention. While current state-of-the …

This paper presents experimental results using a newly developed 3D underwater laser
scanner mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for real‐time simultaneous …

Underwater terrain aided navigation (TAN) has shown its potential to yield accurate
navigational results for long-term operation of underwater vehicles. Due to its independence …
