Design of a hybrid energy-generation system for autonomous kayaks
The goal of this research is to design and analyze a series-hybrid energy-production system for an autonomous kayak. Currently these vehicles have limited range due to energy storage in lead acid batteries. Extending the range would give the vehicles more operating time in their environments, and …

Investigation of cork as filler for fiber-reinforced composite material in kayaks
… into composite material for boats and kayaks without significant performance losses. Fiberglass lay-ups (cloth, mat, and epoxy) and cork-epoxy samples are prepared by vacuum bagging. Samples undergo a three-point bending test (ASTM D79o) and a Charpy impact test (ASTM D611o) to …

Human-autonomy teaming for improved diver navigation
… range-only single-beacon navigation between two kayaks serving as proxies for the diver and Remote Environmental Monitoring Units (REMUS) 100 AUV. During processing, a nonlinear least-squares (NLS) method, called incremental smoothing and mapping 2 (iSAM2), utilizes odometry and range …
