  1. 11. Design and development of a submersible UAV

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Adam Olsson; [2021]
    Keywords : UAV; Drone; Submersible; VTOL;

    Abstract : Using autonomous underwater vehicles is a popular method of collecting samplesand conducting surveys, but the transportation of this information is not always easy.The underwater vehicle might be unable to transmit the information wirelessly, andsamples may be required to be transported a long distance.

  3. 12. Monocular Visual Odometry for Autonomous Underwater Navigation : An analysis of learning-based monocular visual odometry approaches in underwater scenarios

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

    Author : Andrea Caraffa; [2021]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Monocular Visual Odometry; Computer Vision; Autonomous Underwater Navigation; Autonomous Underwater Vehicle; Djupinlärning; Monokulär Visuell Odometri; Datorseende; Autonom Undervattensnavigering; Autonomt Undervattensfordon;

    Abstract : Visual Odometry (VO) is the process of estimating the relative motion of a vehicle by using solely image data gathered from the camera. In underwater environments, VO becomes extremely challenging but valuable since ordinary sensors for on-road localization are usually unpractical in these hostile environments. READ MORE

  4. 13. Comparison of control strategies for manipulating a Hydrobatic Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Chariklia Panteli; [2021]
    Keywords : Autonomous Underwater Vehicle; AUV; Gripper; Manipulator; Controlcomparison; Linear Quadratic Regulator; LQR; PID; Model Predictive Controller; MPC; Autonomt undervattensfordon; AUV; Gripper; Manipulator; Kontrolljämförelse; Linjär kvadratisk regulator; LQR; PID; Modell Predictive Controller; MPC;

    Abstract : This master thesis project is focused on the development of an LQR controller and its comparison with other controllers (PID and MPC), in order to successfully control an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle manipulation system. The modelling of the manipulator was performed first in Matlab and later on in Simulink-Simscape. READ MORE

  5. 14. A Conceptual Design of a Reliable Hard Docking System : Docking of an utonomous underwater vehicle to the new generation A26 submarine

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : ELIN EKSTRÖM; ELLEN SEVERINSSON; [2021]
    Keywords : Hard docking; AUV; submarine; A26; HMS Blekinge; HMS Skåne; Hårddockning; AUV; ubåt; A26; HMS Blekinge; HMS Skåne;

    Abstract : In year 2024 and 2025 the Royal Swedish Navy is expected to launch two new submarines with new possibilities to dock underwater vehicles. The submarines are part of the new Blekinge Class (A26) and will aid the Swedish Armed Forces and the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) in their aim to develop and use more autonomous systems, to increase staff efficiency and to face the technological challenges of tomorrow.

  6. 15. Underwater Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter SLAM using Stochastic Variational Gaussian Processes maps

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

    Author : Stine Olsson; [2021]
    Keywords : AUV; RBPF; SVGP; SLAM; MBES; AUV; RBPF; SVGP; SLAM; MBES;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we introduce a Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter (RBPF) for the algorithm Simultaneously Localizing and Mapping (SLAM) to be used on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) with a Stochastic Variational Gaussian Process (SVGP) algorithm. With a positive result, the combination was proven to be working. READ MORE
