In opportunistic networks, putting devices in energy saving mode is crucial to preserve their battery, and hence to increase the lifetime of the network and to foster user cooperation. However, a side effect of duty …
Abstract: This paper presents two acoustic-based techniques for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) navigation within an underwater network of fixed sensors. The proposed algorithms exploit the positioning measurements provided by an Ultra-Short Base Line (USBL) transducer…
A cooperative localization procedure for a team of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is described and experimentally evaluated. The procedure relies on acoustic communication networking among the AUVs and/or fixed acoustic nodes, and it is suitable…
This paper proposes a Bayesian set-based estimator applied to the adaptive mapping of objects resting on the seabed, through the design and the implementation of a Gaussian Mixture - Probability Hypothesis Density (GM-PHD) filter. Starting…
The adoption of fault detection and isolation (FDI) techniques is fundamental to ensure high levels of safety and productivity, especially in critical and expensive applications like Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). This paper describes a comparison…
