Localization in an Autonomous Underwater Multi-robot System Designed for Coastal Area Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an multi-robotic system for underwater exploration, specifically for coastal seas. The novelty of this system is its enhanced performance in underwater localization using underwater acoustic ranging and data transfer between the floats. This process is not dependent on any fixed infrastructure, which is usually a requirement for such missions. An algorithm is implemented in the floats for underwater localization, based on an Extended Kalman Filter. Extensive real scenario simulation test results are presented.

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 کاملIdentification 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...
