• Autonomous ROV inspections of aquaculture net pens using DVL 

      Amundsen, Herman Biørn; Caharija, Walter; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This article presents a method for guiding a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to autonomously traverse an aquaculture net pen. The method is based on measurements from a Doppler velocity log (DVL) and uses the measured ...
    • Path Following Control of Underactuated Surface Vessels in the Presence of Multiple Disturbances 

      Caharija, Walter; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad; Greco, Marilena; Gravdahl, Jan Tommy (Chapter, 2019-06-25)
      An integral version of the line-of-sight guidance method is shown to compensate for both kinematic and dynamic disturbances generated by wind, waves and sea currents. The guidance law is designed for path following tasks ...
    • Path Following, Obstacle Detection and Obstacle Avoidance for Thrusted Underwater Snake Robots 

      Kelasidi, Eleni; Moe, Signe; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad; Kohl, Anna M; Liljebäck, Pål; Gravdahl, Jan Tommy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The use of unmanned underwater vehicles is steadily increasing for a variety of applications such as mapping, monitoring, inspection and intervention within several research fields and industries, e.g., oceanography, marine ...
    • Semiglobal exponential stability of a counter-current and co-current guidance scheme 

      Caharija, Walter; Grøtli, Esten Ingar; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      A control technique for counter-current and co-current guidance of underactuated marine vehicles is revisited and stronger stability properties are shown. In particular, the stronger property of uniform semiglobal exponential ...
