Homeostatic-inspired controller algorithm for a hybrid-driven autonomous underwater glider
The autonomous hybrid-driven underwater glider presented in this thesis combines the concept of a buoyancy-driven underwater glider and a conventional autonomous underwater vehicle. It is classified as a new kind of autonomous underwater glider. The existing buoyancy-driven gliders have proven to …

In-situ characterization of sea state with improved navigation on an Autonomous Underwater Glider
This thesis presents an Autonomous Underwater Glider (AUG) architecture with improved onboard navigation and acoustics-based sensing intended to enable basin-scale unattended surveys of our Earth’s most remote oceans. Traditional AUGs have long-been an important platform for oceanographic surveys …

Towards basin-scale in-situ characterization of sea-ice using an Autonomous Underwater Glider
This thesis presents an Autonomous Underwater Glider (AUG) architecture that is intended for basin-scale unattended survey of Arctic sea-ice. The distinguishing challenge for AUG operations in the Arctic environment is the presence of year-round sea-ice cover which prevents vehicle surfacing for …

Developing the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Gliders
This thesis presents a novel, hybrid Autonomous Underwater Glider (AUG) architecture developed for improved performance in shallow, high-current environments while maintaining all capabilities inherent to a deep, 1000m-rated AUG. Numerous regions of scientific interest, such as the marginal ice …
