  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. The Irrigator : Autonomous watering robot for homes

    Abstract : In the last years, the use of indoor drones has increased significantly in many different areas. However, one of the main limitations of the potential of these drones is the battery life. This is due to the fact that the battery size has to be limited since the drones have a maximum payload in order to be able to take-off and maintain the flight. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Control System for Automated Docking of an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Reglerteknik

    Author : Erik Rundqvist; [2005]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) are receiving increased attention for both military and civilian applications. For example, UUVs were deployed in the war against Iraq for mine counter measure missions and are becoming a necessary tool in the deep sea mining industry. READ MORE
