Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Altitude Keeping to Variable Seabed with a Coupled Variable Ballast and Hydroplane Control System
(2016-08-26)The thesis objective is to develop a control approach that enables variable ballast systems (VBS) to be used in tandem with hydroplanes (HP) on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Methods to reduce power consumption ... -
ONLINE BANDWIDTH ADAPTATION AND DATA TRACKING OF UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC TRANSMISSIONS TO OPTIMIZE COLLABORATIVE AUV MISSIONS
(2014-12-11)A method for on-line characterization of in-water acoustic transmission conditions and intelligent adaptation of transmission rates to these conditions is implemented on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). The objective ... -
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes for Fault Management in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
(2019-08-26)Proposed, is a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) model-based schema as the basis of a fault manager system for use by autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) undergoing long endurance missions with the ... -
Seafloor Elevation Trends as Environmental Features for Data Association in Underwater Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
(2015)While critical to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), process data association is often unreliable, especially so in a noisy, dynamic, underwater environment. This thesis presents a novel approach for data ...
