GPS receiver present on board experiences signal loss and multipath reflections in situation when the view of the sky is obscured by a bridge or tall buildings. In both cases, a potentially dangerous situation is provoked as the robot has no or inaccurate positioning data. A sensor data processing scheme is proposed where these gaps are smoothly filled in by positioning data generated from scan matching and registration of the laser data. This article shows preliminary results of positioning data improvement during trials in harbor-river environment.","PeriodicalId":299885,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 8th International Conference on Underwater System Technology: Theory and Applications (USYS)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125935224","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}

Deal with the reference target position, the obstacle information and the actual state information of the underwater vehicle, the obstacle avoidance controller plans a local reference trajectory which can avoid the obstacles. Based on the study of kinematics control, the trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance control at the dynamic level is further expanded. Focusing on the modeling uncertainty and current disturbance in underwater environment, a model prediction and sliding mode cascaded control algorithm for UUV trajectory tracking is proposed. Considering about the constraint ability of model predictive control and the robustness of sliding mode control algorithm, the controller can realize robust trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance control of underwater vehicle. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the speed jump and thruster saturation problem, and realize the smooth and stable trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance control.","PeriodicalId":299885,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 8th International Conference on Underwater System Technology: Theory and Applications (USYS)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115971766","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}

When the DSRV approaches the wrecked submarine in a positive flotation in quasi-static way, the effects of different inflow velocities and the distance between the two objects on the DSRV’s drag, lift and pitching moment are simulated and monitored. The results show that when the DSRV is far away from the wrecked submarine, it is subject to the repulsive force from the submarine; when the distance is gradually reduced, the repulsive force is reduced until becoming suction; when the two objects are docking, the DSRV is subjected to the repulsive force from the submarine.

However, the premise of this high accuracy is to add labels to all samples manually, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of failure detection. In this article, a semi-supervised fault diagnosis framework for a gearbox is proposed by utilizing GAN. First of all, fast Fourier transform (FFT) is adopted transform 1-D vibration signals into 2-D frequency spectrograms to fit the input format of GAN. Then, the frequency spectrograms are input into the GAN model to achieve fault diagnosis with few marked samples. Finally, an experiment study is carried out to confirm the excellent result of our approach in accuracy and stability.
