2021年1月20日 · In this video, you'll see docking in a real world scenario and later in the series we'll show you the complete docking process. Stay tuned and check out our website to learn more:...

This paper describes the modular structure of the ALIVE AUV, including its distributed software architecture and in particular the ADS (Autonomous Docking System). It then outlines the sonar and video sensor processing techniques used for real-time control of the AUV to perform tracking and 3D pose reconstruction.

2021年1月27日 · Orrin Malacko, PEng., describes how the system uses acoustic and visual tracking to successfully find and track the AUV underwater. Watch our latest video and keep an eye out for next week's to...

2021年2月3日 · In part 3 of our Autonomous Docking video series, Orrin Malacko takes you through the complete process from vehicle submerging to autonomously tracking and latching to the underwater dock. For...

2015年12月1日 · Underwater mobile docking experiments of AUV were carried out by Hydroid, a Kongsberg Company (2012) in September, 2011 at Weymouth, England. Hydroid׳s concept for this system involves the REMUS 100 intercepting and mating with a …

2021年3月15日 · An integrated planar type AUV docking and charging system is proposed in this paper, including both the system construction and the navigation and docking method. The proposed AUV docking system has advantages of structural conciseness, convenient usage, large positioning tolerance, and broad adaptability compared to conventional AUV docking ...

2024年4月1日 · This paper reviews the advancement of the study on AUV underwater docking and charging. A comprehensive description is given in terms of docking mode, docking station structure, acoustic and optical navigation, path planning, dynamic obstacle avoidance, motion control, and wireless charging.

The primary objective is to approach UDS from the desired direction and to provide a required mutual orientation of AUV and a docking unit. A television system of the robot is used for detection of the reference points leading into the dock, and an echo-sounding system - for local orientation inside the dock.

This paper presents a localization strategy for an AUV which autonomously docks on intervention panels which combines a ranging sonar localization technique featuring a modified particle filter at large distance and a visual model-based pose estimation using on-board camera at close distance to the docking panel.

Regular monitoring and inspection of underwater facilities such as oil and gas pipelines is essential to protect people and the marine environment. Autonomou...
