AQUA: An Amphibious Autonomous Robot
Gregory Dudek,Philippe Giguère,Chris Prahacs,Shane Saunderson,Junaed Sattar,L.A. Torres-Mendez,Michael Jenkin,A. German,Andrew Hogue,A. Ripsman,James E. Zacher,Evangelos E. Milios,Hui Liu,Pifu Zhang,Martin Buehler,C. Georgiades +15 more
TL;DR: AQUA, an amphibious robot that swims via the motion of its legs rather than using thrusters and control surfaces for propulsion, can walk along the shore, swim along the surface in open water, or walk on the bottom of the ocean.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A visually guided swimming robot
Gregory Dudek,Michael Jenkin,Chris Prahacs,Andrew Hogue,Junaed Sattar,Philippe Giguère,A. German,Hui Liu,Shane Saunderson,A. Ripsman,Saul Simhon,L.-A. Torres,Evangelos E. Milios,Pifu Zhang,I. Rekletis +14 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the first ever amphibious transition from walking to swimming, and provides an overview of some of the basic capabilities of the vehicle and its associated sensors.

AQUA: an aquatic walking robot
C. Georgiades,A. German,Andrew Hogue,Hui Liu,Chris Prahacs,A. Ripsman,Robert Sim,L.-A. Torres,Pifu Zhang,Martin Buehler,Gregory Dudek,Michael Jenkin,Evangelos E. Milios +12 more
TL;DR: An underwater walking robotic system being developed under the name AQUA that uses a suite of sensing technologies, primarily based on computer vision and INS, to allow it to navigate and map clear shallow-water environments.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Graph-based Automatic Consistent Image Mosaicking
TL;DR: This paper presents an automatic algorithm to generate consistent image mosaicking, a very efficient in computation and storage saving method for robot navigation and map construction.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Underwater Robot Localization using Artificial Visual Landmarks
TL;DR: A method is presented to recover the camera's viewpoint with minimum three feature points and a single image from one camera with the fewest feature points required so far to deal with the same problem.
