Autonomous swarm control, which is expected to be able to handle multiple unmanned vehicles (UxVs), is an important technology that can be applied to many operations and incorporated in many systems. For operations in real environments, we have to consider severe conditions under which communications between UxVs may be inadequate and the environment changes unexpectedly. In addition to optimality,...
We propose a swarm control algorithm for unmanned vehicles that adapts to unexpected environments while making the optimal formation. Our proposed algorithm, “autonomous and adaptive control”, is inspired by the control mechanism of living organisms and reconciles adaptability under a complex and changing environment and optimality for the various purposes of the system. In this paper, we apply the...
Based on the current widespread use of underwater vehicles, a special type of underwater glider equipped with energy-saving diamond-structured rotatable wings that can improve the underwater vehicle's lift-drag ratio optimize hydrodynamic performance, and enhance flight quality was studied. With the support of adaptive meshing technology and Fluent's epsilon standard turbulence model, lift and drag...
This paper aims at investigating the effects of the ocean current in the thrusters closed-loop performance. In particular, the intervention case, and thus the vehicle slowly moving, is of interest. Vehicle controllers are commonly designed without taking into account both the thruster dynamics and the presence of ocean current which, however, influence the closed loop. A fixed gains PID and an adaptive...
A novel anomaly detection algorithm is proposed to detect anomalies in trajectory data of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Compared to existing work, the proposed algorithm estimates vehicle speed (i.e., through-water speed) from trajectory data and detect abnormal motion with estimated vehicle speed by a threshold technique. The influence of ocean flow on AUVs is significant and must disturb...
