EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
This book deals with the main control aspects in underwater manipulation tasks. The mathematical model with significant impact on the control strategy is discussed. The problem of controlling a 6-degrees-of-freedoms autonomous underwater vehicle is deeply investigated and a survey of fault detection/tolerant strategies for unmanned underwater vehicles is provided; experimental results obtained with the vehicle ODIN are presented. The presence of a manipulator is further studied in the aspects of kinematic, dynamic and interaction control. The purpose of this second edition is to add material not covered in the first edition as well as streamline and improve the previous material.

The ROV Manual: A User Guide for Observation Class Remotely Operated Vehicles
by Robert D Christ (Author), Robert L. Wernli Sr (Author)

Many underwater operations that were once carried out by divers can now be carried out more efficiently and with less risk with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This is the first ROV 'how-to' manual for those involved with smaller observation class ROVs used for surveying, inspection, observation and research purposes. As ROV technology becomes increasingly efficient and affordable, their use is rapidly spreading throughout a myriad of industries, everything from aquaculture to port and...

Technology and Applications of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (Ocean Science and Technology, V. 2)

Technology and Applications of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (Ocean Science and Technology, V. 2)
by Gwyn Griffiths (Editor)

The oceans are hostile. Gathering information on life, the seabed, indeed any topic, is incredibly difficult. Autonomous Under Vehicles are robots that are revolutionising the way researchers and industry obtain data. Advances in technology have resulted in capable vehicles that have made new discoveries on how oceans work and have dramactically reduced the cost to industry of surveying the seabed. This book describes the technologies that have made this happen and a host of applications from...
