AUV Navigation and Self-Motion in Shallow Water
نویسنده
چکیده
We wish to address the problems of navigation and self-motion of small AUVs in shallow water. Speci c objectives are to characterize the performance of the navigation system and Kalman lter in shallow water and energetic environments; to characterize the self-motion properties of small AUVs operating in shallow water in relation to sea-state and depth; to evaluate the suitability of small AUVs as platforms for imaging sonars; to provide smoother and more accurate estimates of vehicle self-motion in energetic environments.

Design and Experimental Evaluation of integrated orientation estimation algorithm Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Based on Indirect Complementary Filter
This paper aims is to design an integrated navigation system constituted by low-cost inertial sensors to estimate the orientation of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) during all phases of under water and surface missions. The proposed approach relied on global positioning system, inertial measurement unit (accelerometer & rate gyro), magnetometer and complementary filter technique. Complem...
متن کاملDetermining the Horizontal and Vertical Water Velocity Components of a Turbulent Water Column Using the Motion Response of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
This work introduces a new method to calculate the water velocity components of a turbulent water column in the x, y, and z directions using Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) motion response (referred to as the ‘WVAM method’). The water column velocities were determined by calculating the difference between the motion responses of the vehicle in calm and turbulent water environments. The velo...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Motion of an Underwater Robot Glider for Shallow-water Ocean Applications
This paper describes the modeling and simulation of an underwater robot glider used in the shallow-water environment. We followed the Equations of motion derived by [2] and simplified dynamic Equations of motion of an underwater glider according to our underwater glider. A simulation code is built and operated in the MATLAB Simulink environment so that we can make improvements to our testing gl...
متن کاملInvestigation of Hydrodynamic Derivatives of an AUV Based on the Water Tunnel Testing Maneuvers
Coefficients or hydrodynamic derivatives of autonomous underwater vehicles play a key role in their development. The most popular way for the estimation of coefficient is to implement captive model tests such as straight line tests and planar motion mechanism tests in towing tanks. In this paper, investigation of hydrodynamic derivatives was performed based on the water tunnel maneuvers. Forces...
متن کاملPure range-only sub-sea SLAM
This paper is about using range-only data to navigate an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). We assume the vehicle is equipped with conventional long base line (LBL) transceiver which measures acoustic time of flights (TOFs) between vehicle and small submerged transponders. Using only range data and no prior information other than approximate water column depth, we solve for both transponder l...
