The CR200 is 6-legged seabed walking robot designed to work in high current and low visibility environment. The along sectional shape of the body is streamlined to improve the hydrodynamic characteristics. In order to detect the disturbance from the current, we installed an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), an attitude heading reference system (AHRS) on the body and a contact force sensor on each foot. Acoustic camera and scanning sonar were installed for the inspection of the low visibility environment. The pressure canister and electric-driven six legs/arms guarantee the 200m pressure-resistant and watertight performance. The main frame was made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in order to reduce the total weight. In this paper, we introduce the results of manufacturing and verify the design concept.","PeriodicalId":224246,"journal":{"name":"2013 MTS/IEEE OCEANS - Bergen","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115429132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this report, an aplanatic doublet with acrylic plano-concave lens as a cover and room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicon-rubber Fresnel lens was designed using optical ray theory to obtain light weight and better characteristics than the previous aplanatic lenses. Convergence characteristics of the doublet were evaluated by using a ray tracing diagram and two-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, and compared with two Fresnel lenses which are aplanatic Fresnel lens without cover and with cover of uniform thickness. Newly designed aplanatic doublet showed larger power and narrower beam width than the previous Fresnel lens with cover. These predictions of the characteristics for the doublet by the FDTD simulation were confirmed by the experiments in water tank. As a result, experimental convergence characteristics of the doublet agreed well with the results of the FDTD simulation except the focal length. Difference of the focal length between simulation and experiment was discussed in the point of view of the variation of the sound source distance and sound velocity.","PeriodicalId":224246,"journal":{"name":"2013 MTS/IEEE OCEANS - Bergen","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124429535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multivehicle fleet deployment can provide an adequate platform for conducting long term surveillance. Unexpected event detection can be more easily conducted if a set of vehicles in idle mode are expecting the occurrence of this event. Long term and high persistence are very interesting characteristics that a collaborative fleet of different vehicles can provide. However, the problem is the high cost of such kind of vehicles. The possibility of performing adequate tasks by using low cost underwater vehicle could multiply the number of agents in the area and therefore, providing high persistence and wide survey area capabilities. This paper progresses in the definition of the requirements needed to be applied on these kind of vehicles considering the low cost of construction and operation as one of the main goals. A more technological advanced and better equipped ASV as communication and coordination station in the area in combination with a fleet of robust Low Cost AUVs in collaborative schema seems to be an interesting platform for providing good results.","PeriodicalId":224246,"journal":{"name":"2013 MTS/IEEE OCEANS - Bergen","volume":"82 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120990796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Guanay II AUV has been designed following a Myring profile, which improves the hydrodynamics of the vehicle but also yields a tractable mathematical model. The model describes the geometric characteristics of the vehicle and the disposition of the thrusters and has backward movement capacity. The model has been tested by means of simulations and a prototype has been validated in real navigation.","PeriodicalId":224246,"journal":{"name":"2013 MTS/IEEE OCEANS - Bergen","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127262306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A line of sight (LOS) based potential is used to guarantee that the vehicle stays inside a band around the direct route between two consecutive way points.

The filter uses a particle approximation for the vehicle position with a conditional Gaussian mixture PHD for the feature map. Map features are selected as unique point features generated from a stereo camera on-board the vehicle.
