Robotic tools for deep water archaeology: Surveying an ancient shipwreck with an autonomous underwater vehicle

The goals of this field note are twofold. First, we detail the operations and discuss the results of the 2005 Chios ancient shipwreck survey. This survey was conducted by an international team of engineers, archaeologists and natural scientists off the Greek island of Chios in the northeastern Aegean Sea using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) built specifically for high-resolution site in...

Identification of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Dynamic Using Extended Kalman Filter with ARMA Noise Model

In the procedure of designing an underwater vehicle or robot, its maneuverability and controllability must be simulated and tested, before the product is finalized for manufacturing. Since the hydrodynamic forces and moments highly affect the dynamic and maneuverability of the system, they must be estimated with a reasonable accuracy. In this study, hydrodynamic coefficients of an autonomous un...

Autonomous 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...

بازرسی خطوط انتقال نفت و گاز زیر دریا بوسیله ربات زیرسطحی با بردار رانش متغیر جدید

This paper presents a special underwater robot for subsea pipelines inspection which is used to transport extracted oil and gas from oil platforms to onshore facilities. Due to the high pressure in the deep sea and the long pipelines, it is impossible to inspection by divers. Therefore underwater robot can be used to solve this problem. This paper investigate a hovering type of underwater vehic...
