The proposed work is in the framework of the V-Fides project, aiming at developing a new generation of agile, over-actuated, long endurance Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, for deep underwater exploration, operation and monitoring. The project is co-funded by Tuscany Region (Italy) and is developed by a team lead by WASS S.p.A. (Whitehead Sistemi Subacquei, Livorno) with the participation of several...
Today a large number of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are evaluated or operated all over the world. Most of them use their own control systems created by the vehicle's manufacturer or scientists of different research areas. The Fraunhofer Application Center System Technology currently owns three underwater vehicles (both AUVs and remotely operated vehicles, ROVs), a forth is under development...
In this paper, we propose a cooperative localization algorithm based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) for multiple underwater vehicles. Research on cooperative localization of multiple underwater vehicles is an important topic to solve the navigation problem in long range and deep sea. We investigate the improvement in navigation accuracy. In the cooperative localization structure, one master underwater...
In the past few years, there has been increasing interest in the use of the Arctic, both as an ocean waterway and as a source of natural resources and food. In support of these objectives, scientific studies and research to characterise the Arctic environment are being initiated. At the same time, northern nations have begun to collect the data that is necessary to assert their sovereignty claims...
The ocean technology test bed (OTTB) will be an engineering laboratory, located on the sea floor. The OTTB will be integrated with the VENUS (Victoria Experimental Network Under the Sea) observatory in Saanich Inlet, on Vancouver Island. It will enable scientific instrument prototyping, ocean technology development and systems engineering. More specifically, it will facilitate research into the technologies...
