A Low-Frequency Sonar for Sensor-Adaptive, Multi-Static, Detection and Classification of Underwater Targets with AUVs

The Generic Ocean Array Technology Sonar (GOATS) Joint Research Program is currently exploring the development of sensor-adaptive autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology specifically directed toward rapid environmental assessment and mine countermeasures in coastal environments. As part of the effort, MIT is developing the GOATS multi-static sonar concept with the goal of being able to d...

New technologies for marine research: five years of glider activities at IMEDEA

This paper summarizes the glider activities carried out in the last 5 years by the IMEDEA Department of Marine Technologies, Operational Oceanography and Sustainability (TMOOS). TMOOS has been operating gliders in the Western Mediterranean Sea since 2006 and has set-up electronic and maintenance laboratories in order to establish a key glider port in the area. Twenty-two glider missions have be...

Transitioning Submersible Chemical Analyzer Technologies for Sustained, Autonomous Observations from Profiling Moorings, Gliders and Other AUVS

A topology control algorithm for autonomous underwater robots in three-dimensional space using PSO

Recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has attracted considerable attention. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used as UWSNs in underwater missions. Events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. The target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. A ‘topology cont...
