Download or read book Development and Testing of Navigation Algorithms for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles written by Francesco Fanelli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on pose estimation algorithms for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). After introducing readers to the state of the art, it describes a joint endeavor involving attitude and position estimation, and details the development of a nonlinear attitude observer that employs inertial and magnetic field data and is suitable for underwater use. In turn, it shows how the estimated attitude constitutes an essential type of input for UKF-based position estimators that combine position, depth, and velocity measurements. The book discusses the possibility of including real-time estimates of sea currents in the developed estimators, and highlights simulations that combine real-world navigation data and experimental test campaigns to evaluate the performance of the resulting solutions. In addition to proposing novel algorithms for estimating the attitudes and positions of AUVs using low-cost sensors and taking into account magnetic disturbances and ocean currents, the book provides readers with extensive information and a source of inspiration for the further development and testing of navigation algorithms for AUVs.

This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been used in military operations for more than 60 years, with torpedoes, cruise missiles, satellites, and target drones being early examples.1 They have also been widely used in the civilian sector-for example, in the disposal of explosives, for work and measurement in radioactive environments, by various offshore industries for both creating and maintaining undersea facilities, for atmospheric and undersea research, and by industry in automated and robotic manufacturing. Recent military experiences with AVs have consistently demonstrated their value in a wide range of missions, and anticipated developments of AVs hold promise for increasingly significant roles in future naval operations. Advances in AV capabilities are enabled (and limited) by progress in the technologies of computing and robotics, navigation, communications and networking, power sources and propulsion, and materials. Autonomous Vehicles in Support of Naval Operations is a forward-looking discussion of the naval operational environment and vision for the Navy and Marine Corps and of naval mission needs and potential applications and limitations of AVs. This report considers the potential of AVs for naval operations, operational needs and technology issues, and opportunities for improved operations.

Book excerpt: Although the primary audience for this book is undergraduate university students studying naval architecture and marine engineering, the content will certainly be of interest to most designers working with high-speed craft. Author Donald L Blount says, "My intent has been to share the technical information, decision criteria, rules of thumb, and the opinionated experiences which have helped me in making choices for developing marine craft intended to operate beyond displacement speeds." According to Blount, Chapter One is a reprise of his article "Original Speed," (Professional BoatBuilder magazine, June/July 2008) followed by nine chapters of "science, my skewed views of science, a few things I don't understand, definitions of things on which no two naval architects will agree, design criteria which have been my friend, and guidance on design procedures embracing technology." This book also includes numerous graphs, charts, tables, and formulas to clarify the material in the text. He encourages you to personalize your copy with your own notes to make it even more valuable as a reference source and has included ample space for adding comments. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Donald L Blount is the founder of Donald L. Blount and Associates, Inc. (Chesapeake, Virginia). During his 50-plus year career, he has designed numerous noteworthy vessels including the 67.7 m (222 ft) Destriero, which holds the non-refueled Atlantic crossing record, set in 1992 with an average speed of 53.1 knots earning the coveted Blue Ribband shown here. Registered as a professional engineer in two states, Blount is a fellow of both SNAME and RINA. He has served as Head of the Department of the U.S. Navy's Combatant Craft Engineering Department and also was employed at the David Taylor Model Basin. He has co-authored more than 50 papers and articles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are remarkable machines that revolutionized the process of gathering ocean data. Their major breakthroughs resulted from successful developments of complementary technologies to overcome the challenges associated with autonomous operation in harsh environments. Most of these advances aimed at reaching new application scenarios and decreasing the cost of ocean data collection, by reducing ship time and automating the process of data gathering with accurate geo location. With the present capabilities, some novel paradigms are already being employed to further exploit the on board intelligence, by making decisions on line based on real time interpretation of sensor data. This book collects a set of self contained chapters covering different aspects of AUV technology and applications in more detail than is commonly found in journal and conference papers. They are divided into three main sections, addressing innovative vehicle design, navigation and control techniques, and mission preparation and analysis. The progress conveyed in these chapters is inspiring, providing glimpses into what might be the future for vehicle technology and applications.

Download or read book Design of a Power Bus for a New Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) written by Samuel Lalaque and published by . This book was released on 1999-08 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Naval Postgraduate School had developed its own AUV called the Phoenix. A successor of the Phoenix is under construction. This new boat, larger, need to have more power than its predecessor to fight the wave current and to have the ability of station keeping in a dynamic environment. In that way, the power capacity will be increased to match and even overtake the range of the first NPS AUV. The Phoenix currently uses a 24 volts batteries pack. The new boat will use a 48 volts batteries pack. Moreover, some components will be replaced or removed for the new configuration (camera, acoustic modem, etc...). All this change requires designing a new power bus to give electric power in all the boat. Described in this project is the adaptation of all the Phoenix's components to this new power bus. This adaptation included the choice of new components and the design of the new power bus that will provide energy in the new boat. This project also provides a simulation of the screw motors on Simulink. This simulation, as the beginning of the electric modelization of the boat, provides a complex model of the screw motors. It is simplified at the end to obtain a faster but sufficiently accurate simulation.

Download or read book Obstacle Avoidance Control for the REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle written by Christopher D. Chuhran and published by . This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Navy continues its development of unmanned underwater vehicles, the need for total autonomous missions grows. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) allow for advances in mine warfare, harbor reconnaissance, undersea warfare and more. Information can be collected from AUVs and downloaded into a ship or battle group's network. As AUVs are developed it is clear forward-look sonar will be required to be able to detect obstacles in front of its search path. Common obstacles in the littoral environment include reefs and seawalls which an AUV will need to rise above to pass. This thesis examines the behavior and control system required for an AUV to maneuver over an obstacle in the vertical plane. Hydrodynamic modeling of a REMUS vehicle enables a series of equations of motion to be developed to be used in conjunction with a sliding mode controller to control the elevation of the AUV. A two-dimensional, 24 deg. vertical scan forward look sonar with a range of 100 m is modeled for obstacle detection. Sonar mappings from geographic range-bearing coordinates are developed for use in MATLAB simulations. The sonar 'image' of the vertical obstacle allows for an increasing altitude command that forces the AUV to pass safely over the obstacles at a reasonable rate of ascent and pitch angle. Once the AUV has passed over the obstacle, the vehicle returns to its regular search altitude. This controller is simulated over different types of obstacles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are emerging as a promising solution to help us explore and understand the ocean. The global market for AUVs is predicted to grow from 638 million dollars in 2020 to 1,638 million dollars by 2025 – a compound annual growth rate of 20.8 percent. To make AUVs suitable for a wider range of application-specific missions, it is necessary to deploy multiple AUVs to cooperatively perform the localization, tracking and formation tasks. However, weak underwater acoustic communication and the model uncertainty of AUVs make achieving this challenging. This book presents cutting-edge results regarding localization, tracking and formation for AUVs, highlighting the latest research on commonly encountered AUV systems. It also showcases several joint localization and tracking solutions for AUVs. Lastly, it discusses future research directions and provides guidance on the design of future localization, tracking and formation schemes for AUVs. Representing a substantial contribution to nonlinear system theory, robotic control theory, and underwater acoustic communication system, this book will appeal to university researchers, scientists, engineers, and graduate students in control theory and control engineering who wish to learn about the core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications of AUVs. Moreover, the practical localization, tracking and formation schemes presented provide guidance on exploring the ocean. The book is intended for those with an understanding of nonlinear system theory, robotic control theory, and underwater acoustic communication systems.
