Intech, 2011. — 270 p. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are remarkable machines that revolutionized the process of gathering ocean data. Their major breakthroughs resulted from successful developments of complementary technologies to overcome the challenges associated with autonomous operation in harsh environments. Most of these advances aimed at reaching new application...
Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2013. 98 p. — ISBN: 978-3-642-32014-9. Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are self contained unmanned untethered vessels that can transit on the surface of the water autonomously or through remote control. Unlike conventional manned surface vessels that are usually large and costly to build and operate, USVs are typically smaller in size and lower cost...
Taylor & Francis, London, 2003. — 342 p. — ISBN: 0415301548. The oceans are a hostile environment, and gathering information on deep-sea life and the seabed is incredibly difficult. Autonomous underwater vehicles are robot submarines that are revolutionizing the way in which researchers and industry obtain data. Advances in technology have resulted in capable vehicles that have...
Ho G., Pavlovic N.J., Arrabito R., Abdalla R. — Defence R&D Canada, DRDC Toronto, March 2011. — 71 p. There has been a great deal of human factors research on unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in large part due to a high number of operator related mishaps. However, there is very little research examining the unique human factors problems...
InTech Publishing, 2008. — 582 p. — ISBN: 978-953-7619-49-7. For the latest twenty to thirty years, a significant number of AUVs has been created for the solving of wide spectrum of scientific and applied tasks of ocean development and research. For the short time period the AUVs have shown the efficiency at performance of complex search and inspection works and opened a number...
Moussette D., Palooparambil A. and Raymond J., the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 2010. — 174 p. Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being investigated for use in oceanographic studies, underwater surveillance, and search operations. Research currently being done in the area of autonomous underwater craft is often hindered by expense. This project seeks to complete the...
Springer, 2010. — 152 p. This monograph presents different techniques developed with the objective of providing a solution to the navigation problem for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operating in structured environments, with special attention to localization techniques but, particularly, to the application of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) techniques as a...

Discusses and offers solutions for the unique challenges presented by more complex missions and the dynamic underwater environment when operating autonomous marine robots Includes case studies that...
CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2011. 165 p. 63 Illustrations. — ISBN: 978-1-4398-1831-2 (hardcover: alk. paper). Features Offers a novel approach to nonlinear robust feedback control for AUVs Presents strategies for control of AUVs in different motion planning tasks, such as point-to-point stabilization and trajectory tracking Discusses methods in the kinematic model for...
Kluwer, 1996. — 250 p. All life came from sea but all robots were born on land. The vast majority of both industrial and mobile robots operate on land, since the technology to allow them to operate in and under the ocean has only become available in recent years. A number of complex issues due to the unstructured, hazardous undersea environment, makes it difficult to travel in...
