      The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Laboratory (AUVLAB) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is currently building and testing a new, general purpose and inexpensive 6000 meter capable Hovering Autonomous ...

    • Adapting a Survey-Class AUV for High Resolution Seafloor Imaging 

      Morash, James; Damus, Robert; Desset, Samuel; Polidoro, Victor; Chryssostomidis, Chryssostomos (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2005)
      Over the past four years, development work at the MIT AUV Lab focused on a vehicle that is now almost a decade old. “Xanthos,” one of the last surviving examples of the venerable Odyssey II series of AUVs (developed at MIT ...

    • Linearized Hovering Control With One or More Azimuthing Thrusters 

      Hover, Franz S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2007)
      We propose a simple method of control system design for marine vehicles with one or more azimuthing propulsors, and specifically for the case where the speed of the actuator is on the same time scale as the plant dynamic ...
