Research on coastal regions traditionally involves methods like manual sampling, monitoring buoys, and remote sensing, but these methods face challenges in spatially and temporally diverse regions of interest. Autonomous surface vehicles…

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) have become the de facto vehicle for remote operations involving oceanography, inspection, and monitoring tasks. These vehicles operate in different and often challenging environments; hence, the design…

Even as technology and performance gains are made in the sphere of automated driving, safety concerns remain. Vehicle simulation has long been seen as a tool to overcome the cost associated with a massive amount of on-road testing for…

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) need to operate for days without human intervention and thus must be able to do efficient and reliable task planning. Unfortunately, efficient task planning requires deliberately abstract domain models…

Underwater docking is critical to enable the persistent operation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). For this, the AUV must be capable of detecting and localizing the docking station, which is complex due to the highly dynamic…

Automatic underwater vehicle hull Design optimization is a complex engineering process for generating a UUV hull with optimized properties on a given requirement. First, it involves the integration of involved computationally complex…

This paper presents an evaluation of two different Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) applications, namely Red Light Violation Warning (RLVW) and Green Light Optimized Speed Advisory (GLOSA). The evaluation method is to first develop and use…

Based on the need for high resolution underwater visual surveys, this study presents the adaptation of an existing SPARUS II autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) into an entirely hovering AUV fully capable of performing autonomous, close…

The rapid growth of connected and automated vehicle (CAV) solutions have made a significant impact on the safety of intelligent transportation systems. However, similar to any other emerging technology, thorough testing and evaluation…

In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) is a set of emerging operations that provides several benefits to improve the longevity, capacity, mo- bility, and expandability of existing and future space assets. Serial robotic ma-…

Visually-guided underwater robots are deployed alongside human divers for cooperative exploration, inspection, and monitoring tasks in numerous shallow-water and coastal-water applications. The most essential capability of such companion…

Simulators are useful tools for testing automated driving controllers. Vehicle-in-the-loop (ViL) tests and digital twins (DTs) are widely used simulation technologies to facilitate the smooth deployment of controllers to physical vehicles.…

Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has been extensively studied and achieved promising results in a wide range of control tasks. Meanwhile, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an important tool for executing complex and challenging…

We introduce a launch device, called the remotely-enabled modular release mechanism, to augment rapid testing and prototyping of cooperative autonomy maritime applications by facilitating autonomous deployment of an autonomous underwater…

Our understanding of the oceans remains limited by sparse and infrequent observations, primarily because current methods are constrained by the high cost and logistical effort of underwater monitoring, relying either on sporadic surveys…

Underwater manipulation is one of the most remarkable ongoing research subjects in robotics. \acp{I-AUV} not only have to cope with the technical challenges associated with traditional manipulation tasks but do so while currents and waves…

This paper presents the CAT Vehicle (Cognitive and Autonomous Test Vehicle) Testbed: a research testbed comprised of a distributed simulation-based autonomous vehicle, with straightforward transition to hardware in the loop testing and…

The paper deals with the software and the electronics unit for an autonomous underwater vehicle. The implementation in the electronics unit is the connection and communication between SBC, pixhawk controller and other sensory hardware and…

Over a couple of decades, space junk has increased rapidly, which has caused significant threats to the LEO operation satellites. An Active Debris Removal $(ADR)$ concept continuously evolves for space junk removal. One of the ADR methods…

Multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a fundamental task in multi-robot operations. Robots must have a common understanding of their location and that of their team members to complete coordinated actions. However,…
