چکیده
The long term goals of this research activity are to significantly increase the performance and affordability of small AUV systems by eliminating their need for expensive navigation equipment by providing exact position updates through an acoustic uplink system with a geographically positioned ASV. The mobile surface acoustic link shall also allow the AUV to communicate data while in transit and surveying, thus eliminating the hazardous need for AUVs to stop their mission and surface to transmit data. Finally, the ASV will also provide an additional asset for environmental

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...
متن کاملDesign and Control of Platoons of Cooperating Autonomous Surface Vessels
This work focuses on the development of a provable, reliable and efficient strategy for coordination of groups, or platoons, of small, autonomous surface vessels for use in maritime security operations. This work builds on successful techniques that have been developed for coordination of platoons of holonomic vehicles as well as technology that has utilized in the development of an autonomous ...
متن کاملBrain multi-infarct and decompression sickness
Scuba diving is associated with an important risk of developing decompression sickness secondary to formation of gas bubbles inside the body. The latter is formed mainly by nitrogen in the body on the diver’s way to the surface (1,2). In some cases, it might injure the central nervous system. Several decompression cases that have been associated with neurologic symptoms are described in the l...
متن کاملA Biomechanical Approach for the Study of Deformation of Red Cells in Narrow Capillaries
This model focuses on the behavior of capillary-tissue fluid exchange system when the diameter of the capillary is less than that of red cell. In vivo and in vitro observations indicate that the width of the gap between the red cell and the vessel wall is generally small compared to the radius of the capillary for a single file flow of red cell in narrow vessel, particularly if the vessel diame...
متن کاملTrajectory tracking of autonomous vessels using model predictive control ⋆
Autonomous surface vehicles are with increasing popularity being seen in various applications where automatic control plays an important role. In this paper the problem of twodimensional trajectory tracking for autonomous marine surface vehicles is addressed using Model Predictive Control (MPC). At each time step, the reference trajectories of a vessel are assumed to be known over a finite time...
