Autonomous manipulation in unestructured underwater scenarios is a high challenging skill that has been poorly studied and is becoming more and more important in the last years. One of the main problems regarding the autonomous manipulation, is to find out the characteristics of the object which is going to be manipulated. This paper presents a new approach to obtain an accurate 3D reconstruction...
A procedure for testing and evaluation of remote sensing instruments that makes use of two test sites in flat and complex terrain is presented. To illustrate the method, a system intercomparison experiment is presented involving one sodar and two lidars (pulsed and continuous-wave). The wind profilers are benchmarked with respect to reference cup anemometer and other mast-based instrumentation. The...
In this paper we show how techniques that have been applied during the last years for autonomous manipulation in the air can be successfully adapted to a new challenging scenario: the underwater environment. Specifically, the developed techniques include among others: visual tracking of objects in the seabed, vision-based arm control and sensor-based grasping. Furthermore, a graphical user interface...
