Real-time underwater positioning and navigation of an AUV in deep waters
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Due to the absence of GPS, navigation of autonomous vehicles underwater requires the integration of various measurements to provide the best location estimate. Usually in littoral waters, adequate navigational accuracy may ...
Cooperative robotic networks for underwater surveillance: an overview
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Underwater surveillance has traditionally been carried out by means of surface and undersea manned vessels equipped with advanced sensor systems. This approach is often costly and manpower intensive. Marine robotics is an ...
Application of aided inertial navigation system to synthetic aperture sonar micronavigation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2001/01)
In order to improve short-term navigational accuracy, critical to successful SAS processing, a highquality Inertial Navigation System (INS) is investigated, which consists of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a strapdown ...
A market-based task allocation framework for autonomous underwater surveillance networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Realisation of underwater robotic surveillance networks raises several challenges for marine robotics. The underwater scenario is typically characterised by intermittent and unreliable communication. This makes it challenging ...
On-board real-time assessment of acoustic environmental parameters relevant to the estimation of sonar performance for autonomous underwater vehicles
(CMRE, 2019/05)
CMRE is evaluating the use of autonomous robots for the detection and tracking of underwater targets. Robotic detection and localization comes with many challenges, not the least of which is the requirement to maximize the ...
Autonomous underwater surveillance networks: a task allocation framework to manage cooperation
(2019/05)
The design of efficient task allocation schemes is essential to manage autonomous underwater robotic surveillance networks. The network has to assign the most suited robots to the tasks which compose the mission, in spite ...
