01 Oct 2015TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) efforts to develop standard test methods for aquatic response robot performance.
Abstract: This paper discusses the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) efforts to develop standard test methods for aquatic response robot performance. Different remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) were used to evaluate the test methods and the tests were refined accordingly. Experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the validity of the test methods. Results of those experiments as well as future work are discussed herein.

01 Sep 2016TL;DR: In this article, a visual feedback based control of an autonomous underwater vehicle for pipeline inspection is proposed, where the heading of the vehicle under hydrodynamic disturbances is controlled using visual feedback to track the pipeline for inspection.
Abstract: For everyday inspection jobs in offshore oil and gas industry, the human divers are being replaced by underwater vehicles. This paper proposes a visual feedback based control of an autonomous underwater vehicle for pipeline inspection. The hydrodynamic disturbances in water severely affect the movement of the vehicle resulting in performance degrading. The heading of the autonomous underwater vehicle under such disturbances is controlled using visual feedback to track the pipeline for inspection. The proposed method does not demand expensive position feedback devices such as underwater acoustic positioning system. By using built-in camera of the vehicle and few image processing techniques a simpler, easier and low-cost solution is proposed. The performance evaluation of the proposed technique on sample underwater images is also presented.

01 May 2017TL;DR: The approach to the creation of an information control system for remotely operated underwater vehicles is described in the paper and can be used to build various control algorithms for underwater vehicles and their manipulators.
Abstract: The approach to the creation of an information control system for remotely operated underwater vehicles is described in the paper. The system using the information from various navigation equipment and the sensors allows planning the movement routes of vehicles and supporting vessels in process of performing of the underwater works is described. The proposed system also formulates the recommendations and warnings for operators. This system can be used to build various control algorithms for underwater vehicles and their manipulators.
