The Cornerstone AUV Navigator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bluefin’s business focus is the design and manufacture of autonomous underwater vehicles for use in military, scientific, and commercial applications. For many AUV missions, accurate navigation that does not depend on acoustic beacons in the operating region is one of the primary remaining technical hurdles. This effort will address this need through the creation of the Cornerstone AUV Navigator, an extensible, flexible, low-cost AUV navigator that will solve the navigation needs of a variety of AUVs.

Design and Development of Command and Control System for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Command and control for AUVs has been an area of active research over the past years. Inspired by the command structure in real ships and submarines, we have developed a command and control system which operates through the interaction of multiple software agents. The software agents take on roles such as Captain, Executive Officer, Navigator, Pilot, etc. to achieve specified missions. The comm...
متن کاملطراحی کنترلگر تعقیب مسیر هماهنگ برای گروه شناور زیرسطحی با در نظر گرفتن مسئله اجتناب از برخورد
In this paper the problem of coordinated path following for a group of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) subjected to obstacle and collision avoidance is considered. At first a back stepping controller is used for an AUV to design a path following controller and its stability is examined via Lyapunov criteria. Then using of graph theory, modeling of interconnection between AUV systems is addr...
متن کاملAutonomous Underwater Vehicle Hull Geometry Optimization Using a Multi-objective Algorithm Approach
Abstarct In this paper, a new approach to optimize an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) hull geometry is presented. Using this methode, the nose and tail of an underwater vehicle are designed, such that their length constraints due to the arrangement of different components in the AUV body are properly addressed. In the current study, an optimal design for the body profile of a torpedo-shaped...
متن کاملAnterior Urethral Valve and Diverticulum in a Neonate with Urinary Tract Infection
Introduction:Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare congenital anomaly that can cause obstructive uropathy. AUV can lead to variable urinary tract symptoms, and if left untreated, it can result in end-stage renal disease. AUV should be immediately evaluated and managed. Herein, we present a neonate with AUV and diverticulum, who was treated by cystoscopy. Case report:A 11-day-old boy was ref...
متن کاملAdded Resistance of an AUV Moving Inside a Water Pipeline Due to Wall Proximity
This paper evaluates the added resistance of a torpedo shape AUV, moving inside a water pipeline, due to wall effects within the tube. Today, there are long length pipelines of water or petroleum that need to regular inspection. Early detection of failure will help to prevent breakdown and avoid the huge cost of an accident. As pipelines are enclosed environments and difficult to access, pipeli...
