Book Synopsis Intelligent Autonomy for Unmanned Marine Vehicles by : Carlos C. Insaurralde
Download or read book Intelligent Autonomy for Unmanned Marine Vehicles written by Carlos C. Insaurralde and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an Intelligent Control Architecture (ICA) to enable multiple collaborating marine vehicles to autonomously carry out underwater intervention missions. The presented ICA is generic in nature but aimed at a case study where a marine surface craft and an underwater vehicle are required to work cooperatively. It is shown that they are capable of cooperating autonomously towards the execution of complex activities since they have different but complementary capabilities. The ICA implementation is verified in simulation, and validated in trials by means of a team of autonomous marine robots. This book also presents architectural details and evaluation scenarios of the ICA, results of simulations and trials from different maritime operations, and future research directions.

Book Synopsis Cyber-maritime Cycle by : Fumin Zhang
Download or read book Cyber-maritime Cycle written by Fumin Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine robots are playing important roles in environmental sensing and ocean observation applications. This tutorial introduces the overall systems architecture and patterns for data streams that enable autonomy for marine robots in environmental sensing applications. The article proposes the concept of cyber-maritime cycle and surveys its use as a recent development in marine robotics. Supported by communication networks, autonomy can be achieved using at least three feedback loops in a cyber-maritime cycle, each running at different time scales or temporal frequencies. When information is circulating around the cycle, it is transformed between two representations: the Lagrangian view and the Eulerian view. Important functional blocks, such as mission planning, path planning, data assimilation, and data-driven modeling are discussed as providing conversions between the two views of data. The tutorial starts with an overview of enabling technologies in sensing, navigation, and communication for marine robotics. The design of experiment method is then reviewed to plan optimal sensing locations for the robots. The tutorial discusses a class of path planning methods that produces desired trajectories of marine robots while combating ocean current. The lack of an accurate Eulerian map for ocean current will lead to tracking error when robots attempt to follow the planned paths to collect Lagrangian data. The performance of robot navigation can be evaluated through the controlled Lagrangian particle tracking method, which computes trends and bounds for the growth of the tracking error. To improve the accuracy of the Eulerian map of ocean current, a data-driven modeling approach is adopted. Data assimilation methods are leveraged to convert Lagrangian data into Eulerian map. In addition, the spatial and temporal resolution of Eulerian data maps can be further improved by the motion tomography method. This tutorial gives a comprehensive view of data streams and major functional blocks underlying autonomy of marine robots.
Download or read book Underwater Robots written by Junku Yuh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All life came from sea but all robots were born on land. The vast majority of both industrial and mobile robots operate on land, since the technology to allow them to operate in and under the ocean has only become available in recent years. A number of complex issues due to the unstructured, hazardous undersea environment, makes it difficult to travel in the ocean while today's technologies allow humans to land on the moon and robots to travel to Mars . . Clearly, the obstacles to allowing robots to operate in a saline, aqueous, and pressurized environment are formidable. Mobile robots operating on land work under nearly constant atmospheric pressure; their legs (or wheels or tracks) can operate on a firm footing; their bearings are not subjected to moisture and corrosion; they can use simple visual sensing and be observed by their creators working in simple environments. In contrast, consider the environment where undersea robots must operate. The pressure they are subjected to can be enormous, thus requiring extremely rugged designs. The deep oceans range between 19,000 to 36,000 ft. At a mere 33-foot depth, the pressure will be twice the normal one atmosphere pressure of 29. 4 psi. The chemical environment of the sea is highly corrosive, thus requiring the use of special materials. Lubrication of moving parts in water is also difficult, and may require special sealed, waterproof joints.

Book Synopsis Mobile Robots Navigation by : Luis Payá
Download or read book Mobile Robots Navigation written by Luis Payá and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of mobile robots in diverse scenarios is considerably increasing to perform a variety of tasks. Among them, many developments have occurred in the fields of ground, underwater, and flying robotics. Independent of the environment where they move, navigation is a fundamental ability of mobile robots so that they can autonomously complete high-level tasks. This problem can be efficiently addressed through the following actions: First, it is necessary to perceive the environment in which the robot has to move, and extract some relevant information (mapping problem). Second, the robot must be able to estimate its position and orientation within this environment (localization problem). With this information, a trajectory toward the target points must be planned (path planning), and the vehicle must be reactively guided along this trajectory considering either possible changes or interactions with the environment or with the user (control). Given this information, this book introduces current frameworks in these fields (mapping, localization, path planning, and control) and, in general, approaches to any problem related to the navigation of mobile robots, such as odometry, exploration, obstacle avoidance, and simulation.

Book Synopsis Advanced Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Marine Vehicles by : Yang Shi
Download or read book Advanced Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Marine Vehicles written by Yang Shi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of marine control system design related to underwater robotics applications. In particular, it presents novel optimization-based model predictive control strategies to solve control problems appearing in autonomous underwater vehicle applications. These novel approaches bring unique features, such as constraint handling, prioritization between multiple design objectives, optimal control performance, and robustness against disturbances and uncertainties, into the control system design. They therefore form a more general framework to design marine control systems and can be widely applied. Advanced Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Marine Vehicles balances theoretical rigor – providing thorough analysis and developing provably-correct design conditions – and application perspectives – addressing practical system constraints and implementation issues. Starting with a fixed-point positioning problem for a single vehicle and progressing to the trajectory-tracking and path-following problem of the vehicle, and then to the coordination control of a large-scale multi-robot team, this book addresses the motion control problems, increasing their level of challenge step-by-step. At each step, related subproblems such as path planning, thrust allocation, collision avoidance, and time constraints for real-time implementation are also discussed with solutions. In each chapter of this book, compact and illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the design and implementation procedures. As a result, this book is useful for both theoretical study and practical engineering design, and the tools provided in the book are readily applicable for real-world implementation.
