Recent Developments for an Obstacle Avoidance System for a Small Auv
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: Improvements in high resolution small forward looking sonar (FLS) and computer processing have made it possible to develop an obstacle avoidance system (OAS) for small diameter Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). An AUV with such a system can maneuver around unanticipated obstacles that may be proud of the ocean floor. This ability can prevent serious damage to the vehicle or the environment. This paper discusses developments in control and computer vision techniques of an OAS designed to vertically avoid obstacles found on the ocean floor. Results are presented from recent in-water testing. Copyright © 2007 IFAC

In this paper the problem of coordinated path following for a group of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) subjected to obstacle and collision avoidance is considered. At first a back stepping controller is used for an AUV to design a path following controller and its stability is examined via Lyapunov criteria. Then using of graph theory, modeling of interconnection between AUV systems is addr...

متن کاملA System of Multi-AUV Interlinked with a Smart Cable for Autonomous Inspection of Underwater Structures
In this paper we present the concept of a multi-AUV system interconnected by a smart cable that contains 3-D positioning sensors for rapid inspection of large underwater structures in a limited mission timeframe. The smart cable provides not only the position of the end-points (AUV locations) but also its own shape in real-time, while also acting as a communication link between AUV. Using this ...

The AUVs are equipped with complex sensorial systems like camera, aquatic sonar system, and transducers. A Neural integrated Fuzzy BKProduct cont...
متن کاملObstacle detection algorithm of low computational cost for Guanay II AUV
Obstacle detection is one of the most important stages in the obstacle avoidance system. This work is focused to explain the operation of a designed and implemented for the overall detection of objects with low computational cost strategy. This strategy of low computational cost is based on performing a spatial segmentation of the information obtained by the SONAR and determine the minimum dist...
