Towards the Improvement of Autonomous Glider Navigational Accuracy through the Use of Regional Ocean Models
Autonomous underwater gliders are robust and widelyused ocean sampling platforms that are characterized by their endurance, and are one of the best approaches to gather subsurface data at the appropriate spatial resolution to advance our knowledge of the ocean environment. Gliders generally do not employ sophisticated sensors for underwater localization, but instead dead-reckon between set wayp...
متن کاملUNDERWATER GLIDERS: DYNAMICS, CONTROL AND DESIGN Joshua Grady Graver A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RECOMMENDED FOR ACCEPTANCE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
This dissertation concerns modelling the dynamics of underwater gliders and application of the model to analysis of glider dynamics, control, navigation, and design. Underwater gliders are a novel type of autonomous underwater vehicle that glide by controlling their buoyancy and attitude using internal actuators. We develop a first principles based model of the dynamics of a general underwater ...
متن کاملA Communication Framework for Cost-Effective Operation of AUVs in Coastal Regions
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are revolutionizing oceanography. Most high-endurance and long-range AUVs rely on satellite phones as their primary communications interface during missions for data/command telemetry due to its global coverage. Satellite phone (e.g., Iridium) expenses can make up a significant portion of an AUV’s operating budget during long missions. Slocum gliders are a ...
متن کاملCooperative Vehicle Control, Feature Tracking and Ocean Sampling
This dissertation concerns the development of a feedback control framework for coordinating multiple, sensor-equipped, autonomous vehicles into mobile sensing arrays to perform adaptive sampling of observed fields. The use of feedback is central; it maintains the array, i.e. regulates formation position, orientation, and shape, and directs the array to perform its sampling mission in response t...
متن کاملTowards an Experimental Characterization of the Effect of Ocean Surface Waves on Long-Range AUV Communication
Radio communications between an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle at sea and shore-based base-stations faces considerable challenges particularly if the antenna on the vehicle does not rise high enough above the water surface. At distances comparable to the maximum line-of-sight distance to a base-station at a given height, situations may occur where the local relative sea wave heights produce inte...
