This article presents the results of the experimental campaign of the EU-H2020 funded project DexROV. Its goal is to enable the remote operation of an underwater vehicle-manipulator system (UVMS) via satellite communication to execute intervention tasks in an OilGas industry scenario. More in detail, this work focuses on the overall control...

This research proposes a unified guidance and control framework for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) based on the task priority control approach, incorporating various behaviors such as path following, terrain following, obstacle avoidance, as well as homing and docking to stationary and moving stations. The integration of homing and...

The paper describes the CO3AUVs - Cooperative Cognitive Control for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles - European Commission Project. This is seventh Framework Programme STREP project under the theme: Information and Communication Technologies Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics. The project started in December 2008. After an overview of the...

Within the European project DexROV the topic of underwater intervention is addressed. In particular, a remote control room is connected through a satellite communication link to surface vessel, which is in turn connected to an UVMS (Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System) with an umbilical cable. The operator may interact with the system using a...
