This paper presents an open-source, user-friendly framework for bimanual teleoperation of a light-duty underwater vehicle-manipulator system (UVMS) using two low-cost haptic devices.
Proposing a novel control scheme for real-time reconfiguration and connectivity maintenance in AUV networks using Distributed Nonlinear Model Predictive Control.
Innovative underwater positioning system for ROVs in confined environments.
The author introduces the Multi-Point Potential Field (MPPF) method to improve real-time path planning for underwater gliders in dynamic 3D environments, addressing obstacles, flow fields, and local minima. The approach enhances efficiency and robustness of path planning for underwater exploration.
The author presents CaveSeg as a visual learning pipeline for semantic segmentation in underwater caves, addressing the scarcity of annotated data. The core thesis focuses on developing a novel transformer-based model that offers real-time execution and state-of-the-art performance.
