A mixed USBL / LBL acoustic navigation system has been experimentally tested in the framework of the CommsNet 13 sea trial, organized and led by CMRE in September 2013. The system set-up included a “Typhoon”…
An algorithmic framework and experimental results on acoustic self-localization and mapping for an AUV equipped with an USBL modem are reported. The methodology proposed is quite general and applicable to a wide range of AUV…
The experimental results in acoustic communication and localization obtained with the “Typhoon” Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) in the CommsNet13 field trial are presented. The “Typhoon”s are a set of three AUVs developed by the Authors…
The Thesaurus project, funded by the Tuscany Region, had among its goals the development of technologies and methodologies for archaeological search with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles working as a team in exploration mis- sions. This has…
