    • Adaptive underwater sonar surveys in the presence of strong currents 

      Williams, David P.; Baralli, Francesco; Micheli, Michele; Vasoli, Simone (CMRE, 2017/11)
      We consider the task of conducting underwater surveys with a sonar-equipped autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in environments with strong currents. More specifically, this topic is addressed in the context of mine ...

    • AUV-enabled adaptive underwater surveying for optimal data collection 

      Williams, David P. (NURC, 2012/04)
      A new adaptive strategy for performing data collection with a sonar-equipped autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is proposed. The approach is general in the sense that it is applicable to a wide range of underwater tasks ...

    • Benefit assessment of glider adaptive sampling in the Ligurian Sea 

      Mourre, Baptiste; Alvarez, Alberto (CMRE, 2014/01)
      The benefits of piloting a glider during a 6-day period via an adaptive sampling procedure in a 80 × 60 km2 marine area are assessed under a fully operational framework. The glider trajectory was adapted to reduce the ocean ...

    • A distributed framework for embedded collaborative autonomy 

      Furfaro, Thomas C. (CMRE, 2019/05)
      We have designed and implemented a framework for the development and deployment of multi-agent task allocation solutions, with particular awareness of the operational constraints encountered by Unmanned Maritime Systems ...

    • A market-based task allocation framework for autonomous underwater surveillance networks 

      Ferri, Gabriele; Munafò, Andrea; Tesei, Alessandra; LePage, Kevin D. (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 ...

    • Micro-bathymetry data acquisition for 3D reconstruction of objects on the sea floor 

      Machado, Diogo; Furfaro, Thomas C.; Dugelay, Samantha (CMRE, 2019/06)
      This paper describes an effort to capture micro-bathymetry data for the end purpose of 3D object reconstruction, using an AUV-borne multibeam echo sounder. Due to the combination of relatively narrow across-track coverage ...
