01 Sep 2013TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid underwater glider is presented, which combines the capacity of a typical glider and a propeller-driven AUV, having the horizontal fly ability and higher maneuverability; it has the ability to dock with an underwater station for battery recharging and data communication.
Abstract: Underwater gliders have the advantage of high endurance and long range. However, these buoyancy-driven gliders do not have horizontal flight capabilities and have the shortage of low maneuverability. In this paper, we present a hybrid underwater glider aiming to overcome these disadvantages. The hybrid glider has characteristics as follows: it combines the capacity of a typical glider and a propeller-driven AUV, having the horizontal fly ability and higher maneuverability; it has the ability to dock with an underwater station for battery recharging and data communication, which will further expand the range and endurance of the vehicle.

TL;DR: In this article, a guiding system for docking based on the philosophy of visual dynamic positioning to line was proposed, and a scheme for the guiding system's fundamental structure and guiding and control approach were defined attaching priority to the overall reliability.
Abstract: IAUV (Intervention Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) is a main direction for AUV's future development. An important feature for IAUV is the capability of autonomous underwater docking. On this other hand, underwater vision in IAUV is gaining increasing attention nowadays. To achieve a high reliable, optimized docking system, a guiding system for docking based on the philosophy of visual dynamic positioning to line was put forward. Approaches of visual ranging and heading measurement were studied and their resolutions were analyzed. Based on this, a scheme for the guiding system's fundamental structure and guiding & control approach were defined attaching priority to the overall reliability. The fundamental hardware selection principles and results were also enclosed. This design course set a ground for further realization of a reliable correct docking system and could act as a reference for other underwater visual system design.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development and main characteristics of a low-cost UAV built by the Mechatronics and Dynamic Modelling Laboratory (MDM Lab) of the University of Florence.
Abstract: The paper describes the development and the main characteristics of a low-cost Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) built by the Mechatronics and Dynamic Modelling Laboratory (MDM Lab) of the University of Florence. This vehicle is named FeelHippo, and it is an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) purposely developed to participate to the 2013 edition of the Student Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge-Europe (SAUC-e, http://sauc-europe.org/) organized by the NATO-STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), La Spezia, Italy. SAUC-e 2013 has been a good test field for the preliminary testing of the AUV capabilities and FeelHippo ranked third in the competition. In the paper some experimental results related to the development of a low-cost vehicle localization system, suitable inside an environment a priori known, are given and discussed.
