Navigation and mapping in relatively featureless underwater and under-ice environments is a difficult challenge. Using common sensors already onboard many unmanned underwater vehicles to aid in this process provides a self-contained and cost-effective solution. Evaluation of such visual navigation and mapping methods under development requires multiple UUVs to gather the required sonar and video data...
The exploration of under-ice environments has seen increased interest over the past few years due to advances in technological capabilities, such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), as well as interest in exploration of polar regions and Jupiter's ice-covered moon Europa. Searching for interesting features under the ice, including animals capable of sustaining life in such harsh environments,...
Presented here is the initial hardware and software design of the Icefin autonomous underwater vehicle for use in under-ice missions in Antarctica. Exploration of the ocean beneath hundreds of meters of ice in Antarctica is a difficult task. However, many areas of science are interested in obtaining data from this environment and other similar environments including Jupiter's moon Europa. Deployment...
