We are develo** a prototype underwater glider for subsea payload delivery. The idea is to
use a glider to deliver payloads for subsea installations. In this type of application, the …

This paper investigates the effect of waves and ocean currents on the dynamics and motion
control of underwater gliders. Waves and ocean currents affect a glider's performance by …

Autonomous underwater gliders are a class of underwater vehicles that transit without the
help of a conventional propeller. The vehicle uses a buoyancy engine to vary its buoyancy …

Underwater gliders are winged, autonomous underwater vehicles that are broadly applied in
physical and biological oceanography. The position of the wing has an important effect on …

For a nature-inspired Unmanned Amphibious Vehicle (UAV), this study investigates the
working effectiveness of propellers and its contribution to the performance criteria in the real …

Underwater gliders are adversely affected by ocean currents because of their low speed,
which is compounded by an inability to make quick corrective manoeuvres due to limited …

Dynamic stability is an important consideration for an underwater glider because its slow
motion makes it susceptible to underwater currents. This is compounded by its weak …

In this paper, a new roll and pitch control mechanism for an underwater glider is described.
The mechanism controls the glider's pitch and roll without the use of a conventional …
