Wetlands are geographic areas where water meets the earth. They cover between 5% and 8% percent of the Earth's surface including coastal areas, swamps rivers and lakes. They are essential ecosystems for human life. Various international conventions, directives and projects work on their protection that can help fighting the disasters resulting...

This paper describes a customized thruster for Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASV). The thruster is a Pump-Jet Module (PJM), which has been expressly designed, modeled, constructed, and tested for small-/medium-sized ASVs that perform environmental monitoring in extremely shallow waters such as wetlands (rivers, lakes, swamps, marshes), where...

Autonomous underwater operations require robust and accurate navigation capabilities, a basic requirement for both precise position and velocity estimation, as well as motion compensation and geo-referencing of exteroceptive sensor data. A great number of theoretical approaches to sensor fusion and filtering can be found in literature, but they...
