This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 97 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 2012-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 38 (thesis year 1993) a total of 13,787 thesis titles from 22 Canadian and 164 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 38 reports theses submitted in 1993, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic long baseline (LBL) navigation systems are often used for precision underwater vehicle navigation. LBL systems triangulate the position of the vehicle by calculating the range between the vehicle and multiple transponders with known locations. A typical LBL system incorporates between two and twelve acoustic transponders. The vehicle interrogates the beacons acoustically, calculates the range to each beacon based on the roundtrip travel time of the signal, and uses the range data from two or more of the acoustic transponders at any point in time to determine its position. However, for accurate underwater navigation, the location of each deployed transponder in the array must be precisely surveyed prior to conducting autonomous vehicle operations. Surveying the location of the transponders is a costly and time-consuming process, especially in cases where underwater vehicles are used in mapping operations covering a number of different locations in succession. During these extended mapping operations, the transponders need to be deployed, surveyed, and retrieved in each location, adding significant time and, consequently, significant cost to any operation.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research results that advance the capabilities of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to conduct seabed surveys are described. These include the creation of a software framework to enable research and development in sensing and adaptive autonomy, a novel synthetic baseline navigation technique, and a magnetic sensing system that incorporates sense and react behaviors. Field experiments were conducted globally in a wide range of littoral environments to test hypotheses associated with the emerging field of autonomy as applied to underwater systems. To facilitate sensor integration and provide a testbed for autonomous sense and react research, an onboard sensor processing and autonomy system was developed for the REMUS AUV using the Robot Operating System (ROS) that provides high-level control of the vehicle. Multiple vehicles outfitted with this system were used for seabed surveys, sensor evaluation, and engineering tests. This framework enabled the development of novel techniques for undersea navigation and magnetic sensing. A synthetic baseline navigation technique that self-localizes an AUV using intermittent acoustic communications signals received by a single transducer is presented. The methodology is found to offer advantages over traditional acoustic-based navigation, in that it can operate with or without synchronized clocks, does not require acoustic transmissions dedicated to navigation, and can provide faster navigation solution convergence. The method uses the phase measurement at the output of a second-order phase-locked loop (PLL) to create fine-scale pseudo-range estimates in addition to, or in the absence of, a one-way travel time (OWTT) measurement based on the arrival time of the acoustic data packet. These range measurements are incorporated by an adaptive particle filter. This technique allows the vehicle navigation system to take advantage of multiple phase-derived range measurements made over the duration of a communication packet. To enable geophysical and archaeological survey capabilities, a scalar magnetometer system has been developed and integrated into an AUV. Real-time signal processing mitigates platform effects of the vehicle. Development of autonomy for on-board processing and target detection, coupled with reacquisition behaviors, is found to increase the effective survey coverage rate by nearly 300% when searching for magnetic dipole targets. The compact system collects data from a Micro-Fabricated Atomic Magnetometer (MFAM, Geometrics Corporation, San Jose, CA, USA), a total-field atomic magnetometer, and data from the sensor is both streamed to storage and made available to an onboard autonomy engine for real-time sense and react behaviors. Following characterization both in controlled laboratory conditions and at sea to determine its performance limits, methodologies for processing the magnetometer data to correct for interference and error introduced by the AUV platform were developed to improve sensing performance. When conducting seabed surveys, the developed autonomy is found to reliably detect and characterize targets of interest using physics-based algorithms designed to operate in real-time within the computational constraints of the AUV. Over the course of this research, the system was advanced to drive both single- and multiple-vehicle autonomous target reacquisition behaviors. Detailed results from surveys searching for submerged World-War II aircraft wrecks at locations worldwide are presented.

Download or read book Sequential, Long Baseline Navigation for REMUS, An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the problems of operating an AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) can be reduced to one of navigation: How accurately do you know where you are? Navigational precision determines the ability to follow truck lines, the ability to map a target to world coordinates, and ultimately, even determines the areas where you ore willing to operate the vehicle. This paper presents the technique used for long baseline acoustic navigation by REMUS (Remote Environmental Measuring Units), a low cost AUV developed by the Oceanographic Systems Laboratory (OSL) of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Adopting the traditional long base line approach to this vehicle presents a complex problem because it must be low power, low cost and small in size, and in addition must work in a shallow water environment. The REMUS system uses a single data acquisition system and DSP to interrogate and receive multiple transponders in a sequential manner. It uses spread spectrum technology which reduces the impact of multi-path in the shallow water environment. A moored pair of acoustic transponders whose coordinates are determined using differential or P-code GPS allow the vehicle to navigate in world coordinates. The DSP minimizes the hardware requirements, thus lowering the associated hardware cost, size, and complexity. This paper describes the techniques used and provides results of this system using frequencies in the 20-30 khz band, giving a range of up to 1500 meters in water 4 meters deep, and also 10-15 khz band, giving a range of up to 7000 meters in waters 14 meters deep.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides exclusive insight into the development of a new generation of robotic underwater technologies. Deploying and using even the most simple and robust mechanical tools is presenting a challenge, and is often associated with an enormous amount of preparation, continuous monitoring, and maintenance. Therefore, all disciplinary aspects (e.g. system design, communication, machine learning, mapping and coordination, adaptive mission planning) are examined in detail and together this gives an extensive overview on research areas influencing next generation underwater robots. These robotic underwater systems will operate autonomously with the help of the most modern artificial intelligence procedures and perform environmental monitoring as well as inspection and maintenance of underwater structures. The systems are designed as modular and reconfigurable systems for long term autonomy to remain at the site for longer periods of time. New communication methods using AI enable missions of hybrid teams of humans and heterogeneous robots. Thus this volume will be an important reference for scientists on every qualification level in the field of underwater technologies, industrial maritime applications, and maritime science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigation of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is a problem that has not been adequately solved. Although the inclusion of the Global Positioning System (GPS) into AUV navigation has been briefly examined before, this possibility is explored further in this thesis. GPS and Inertial Measurement System (INS) based navigation package offers many advantages for AUV navigation especially for transits and precise object location in shallow water. This thesis provides background information on GPS and INS as they pertain to small AUV employment. Other required components are also examined as they pertain to small AUV employment. The use of the GPS/INS navigation package for AUV transits and precise object location work is presented. Two designs with specified components are developed. A GPS receiver was tested for AUV employment suitability. These test results are presented and analyzed. Autonomous underwater vehicles, Global positioning system, Inertial measurement system.
