Development of a regional underwater positioning and communication system for control of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles

Abstract: A new complex system of underwater positioning and communication has been developed for control of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). It consists of a semi-submersible autonomous surface vehicle (ASV), a hovering type AUV, and three surface buoys. The operational concepts for control of multiple AUVs are discussed.

Acoustic Positioning of the NPS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV II) During Hover Conditions

Abstract: : The ability to take position, in a dynamic environment, relative to a local stationary object, is vital to many planned missions for the Naval Postgraduate School's Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV II) project, such as bottom surveying and mine hunting. The AUV II can achieve this ability through the use of its sensors along with stem propulsion motors and tunnel thrusters. The sensors employed by the AUV II include a free directional gyro and independent self-sonar which provide acoustic positioning data without the aid of a transponder net. Described in this thesis are the details of the internal subsystems of the AUV II, and an examination of its positioning ability through the analysis of maneuvering experiments. Commanded motions of yaw, lateral and longitudinal positioning during hover conditions are studied.

Miniaturized and reconfigurable instrumentation for multipurpose survey with a Mini Autonomous Underwater Vehicle MAUVE-project

Abstract: The overall objective of the MAUVE project is to develop and validate at sea a miniaturized, reconfigurable, mobile and autonomous instrumented vehicle, dedicated to multipurpose survey, in particular in coastal waters. It will be characterized by coherent integration of a compact automatic multiparameter measurement module with a very small autonomous underwater vehicle, enabling sensor-driven navigation. Such a demonstrator, derived from an existing "torpedo-shaped" AUV (CALAS), will be developed and validated at sea in Mediterranean coastal waters, within two configurations. However, the potentialities of the "MAUVE" project open a much wider spectrum of potential applications, ranging from the monitoring of sub-ice conditions to the surveillance of various dumping sites, through the inspection of the quality of bathing waters.

Design and development of an X4-ROV

Abstract: Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) used for conducting underwater task to replace a human diver in the risky job. X4-ROV is a micro observation class ROV to be used mainly for visual observation of underwater structure or environment by utilizing a high definition web camera. The designed vehicle structure was aims towards portability and maneuverability in attitude motions of roll, pitch, and yaw, and the translational motion forward/reverse/lateral. This work explains the use and modification of an open-source platform (OpenROV) into X4-ROV system.
