  1. 1. Experiments with Visual Odometry for Hydrobatic Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Somnath Balaji Suresh Kumar; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrobatic AUVs; VO; Stonefish; ORB-SLAM2; VISO2; Hydrobatiska AUV:er; VO; Stonefish; ORB-SLAM2; VISO2;

    Abstract : Hydrobatic Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are underactuated robots that can perform agile maneuvers in challenging underwater environments with high efficiency in speed and range. The challenge lies in localizing and navigating these AUVs particularly for performing manipulation tasks because common sensors such as GPS become very unreliable underwater due to their poor accuracy.

  3. 2. Robust light source detection for AUV docking

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Joar Edlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Autonomous Underwater Vehicle; Docking; Detection; Poseestimation; Visual Navigation; Autonoma Undervattensfordon; Dockning; Detektering; Positionsestimering; Visuell Navigation;

    Abstract : For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to be able to conduct longterm surveys, the ability to return to a docking station for maintenance and recharging is crucial. A dynamic docking system where a slowly moving submarine acts as the docking station provides increased hydrodynamic control and reduces the impact of environmental disturbances. READ MORE

  4. 3. Robust Non-Linear State Estimation for Underwater Acoustic Localization : Expanding on Gaussian Mixture Methods

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Diogo Antunes; [2023]
    Keywords : Robust state estimation; Underwater localization; Target tracking; Gaussian mixture; AUV; Estimação robusta de estado; Localização subaquática; Rastreamento de alvos; Mistura Gaussiana; AUV; Robust tillståndsuppskattning; Undervattenslokalisering; Målspårning; Gaussisk blandning; AUV;

    Abstract : Robust state estimation solutions must deal with faulty measurements, called outliers, and unknown data associations, which lead to multiple feasible hypotheses. Take, for instance, the scenario of tracking two indistinguishable targets based on position measurements, where each measurement could refer to either of the targets or even be a faulty reading.

  5. 4. AUV SLAM for Algae Farm Inspection : 3D Mosaicing using Sonar-Based SLAM

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Julian Valdez; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The progression of seaweed farming and cultivation to an industrial scale relies on automating its processes. Utilization of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) can enable this process through their capacity to automate crop and structural inspections. READ MORE

  6. 5. Blind Acoustic Feedback Cancellation for an AUV

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Hampus Frick; [2023]
    Keywords : acoustical feedback; adaptive filter; least leaky mean square; Kalman; blind source separation; independent component analysis; complex independent component analysis; degenerative unmixing estimation technique; convolutive mixture;

    Abstract : SAAB has developed an autonomous underwater vehicle that can mimic a conventional submarine for military fleets to exercise anti-submarine warfare. The AUV actively emits amplified versions of received sonar pulses to create the illusion of being a larger object. READ MORE
