  1. Cooperative localization for autonomous underwater vehicles

    Bahr, AlexanderMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2009

    Self-localization of an underwater vehicle is particularly challenging due to the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) reception or features at known positions that could otherwise have been used for position computation. Thus Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) applications typically require …

  9. Computational Design and Control of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

    Salazar, JuanMassachusetts Institute of Technology2022

    Design of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) currently relies heavily on rule-ofthumb techniques shared among those in the field, with many designs ending up with thousands of custom-made components that are not readily transferable to other designs made for different tasks. This is largely …
