Development of Autonomous Surface Vehicle

Design and Development of Autonomous Surface Exploring Vehicle

For social, economical, or political reasons, unstructured environments may have to be studied and explored. However, the areas that need to be studied may not be safe (areas with dangerous radioactive materials or front lines in battle fields) and may pose problems including loss of life, for a human to explore by himself physically. For these and other similar reasons, autonomous surface expl...

Development of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for

Currently, research is underway at the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech), to investigate the environmental impacts of oil development in the Prudhoe Bay region of the Beaufort Sea, along Alaska’s northern coast. Of particular interest are the impacts of construction of offshore gravel islands used for oil drilling and production. Construction of these islands may contribute to an i...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

OPTIMIZED FUZZY CONTROL DESIGN OF AN AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE

In this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an Au- tonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) are addressed. Yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. The discussed AUV has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. Two rule bases...
