Autonomous Underwater Vehicles’ Control System Design Implementation

Abstract: Technology advancements have allowed AUVs to explore parts of the ocean that are inhospitable and inaccessible to humans. Because of the several marine systems fields in which they are being used, AUVs have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Numerous fields of exploration and research such as marine geoscience has a wide range of applications for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), which are being used in the scientific, military, commercial, and policy fields. Although AUV technology has been developed and occasionally used in science since the 1960s, routine AUV utilization in science is a recent development. As we talk about underwater vehicles, one of their main components is the genetic map of the AUV. In this paper, we have discussed from designing the schematic of the control system on paper to implementing it in our AUV SEA 5.0. Some light has also been shed on the provisions for future improvements in the vehicle.

Three Dimensional Path Planning of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Abstract: The path planning relates to the safe movement and navigation of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). This paper discusses the way of real-time path planning for autonomous underwater vehicle based on tracking control lyapunov function. The simulation conducted on H300 illustrates the effectiveness of proposed method.

Using unmanned underwater vehicles as research platforms in coastal ocean studies

Abstract: The advantages of using unmanned underwater vehicles in coastal ocean studies are emphasized Two types of representative vehicles, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from University of South Florida, are discussed Two individual modular sensor packages designed and tested for these platforms and field measurement results are also presented The bottom classification and albedo package, BCAP, provides fast and accurate estimates of bottom albedos, along with other parameters such as in-water remotes sensing reflectance The real-time ocean bottom optical topographer, ROBOT, reveals high-resolution 3-dimentional bottom topography for target identification Field data and results from recent Coastal Benthic Optical Properties field campaign, 1999 and 2000, are presented Advantages and limitations of these vehicles and applications of modular sensor packages are compared and discussed

A generic guidance system for underwater vehicles

Abstract: Today, it is not exceptional for an institution to own several different autonomous underwater vehicles. Despite the nice effect of having multiple platforms available, this can easily become a challenge for the user and even more for a system designer. Each vehicle is usually equipped with a native control system and hardware specific modules. The Fraunhofer Application Center System Technology in Ilmenau (Germany) currently possesses three underwater vehicles (both autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) and remotely operated vehicles (ROV)); another novel vessel is being developed. All are equipped with individual guidance systems. Thus, modifying and creating new software, planning missions and evaluating them has to be done in very different ways. This fact shows the necessity to develop a new software framework for underwater vehicles. It is called ConSys (short for Control System) and offers several features that will be described in this paper.
