This paper addresses the problem of driving an underwater vehicle to a desired position while optimizing the performance of a single-range based localization system. Indeed, the performance of single-range based localization techniques is strongly dependent on the vehicle's motion that needs to be sufficiently rich to yield a good measure of observability. We present a prioritized task oriented technique to combine a point-to-point guidance task with an observability optimization task. In particular, the minimum singular value of the Fisher Information Matrix is adopted as the observability metric. Task prioritization is achieved through a null-space-based projection technique that is also combined with a saturation management algorithm to cope with velocity command saturations. The stability of the resulting control law is analysed following a Lyapunov-based approach. Robustness against uncertainty in the initial position of the vehicle is also handled resorting to a procedure that maximises the minimum (worst-case) observability metric. Numerical simulations are reported confirming the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
We investigate the convergence speed, accuracy, robustness and scalability of PSOs structured by regular and random graphs with 3 ≤ k ≤ n. The main conclusion is that regular and random graphs with the same averaged...

Low probability of detection underwater acoustic communications are required for command and control of mobile underwater platforms performing covert missions. To deal with multipath and increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver, this paper presents a study on the low probability of detection communications using a single vector sensor. Compact in size, vector sensors (VS) are suitable for autonomous underwater vehicles, measuring both acoustic pressure and particle velocity, and therefore providing diversity gain. As part of the multidisciplinary EMSO-PT project, an experiment took place off the coast of Algarve/Portugal on Nov 24th, 2021. A single 2D VS was posed on the bottom. Broadband signals were transmitted from several positions, varying both the source-receiver range and the direction of arrival. Recorded noise was added to the signals to reduce the SNR from 0 to -10dB. A superimposed training passive time-reversal approach was employed for equalization. Coherent communication performance was evaluated. Results show that VS multichannel combining may provide an average SNR and mean squared-error gain of up to 9.4 and 3.1 dB, respectively, compared to the pressure channel.

Given a class of nonlinear systems with implicitly defined outputs, we provide a new algorithm to find appropriate local coordinates, in which the resulting system takes a desired target form that is state-affine, up to output and input injection. Once in the target form, it is possible to construct a state-space observer with linear, possibly time-varying, error dynamics.

Free space optical communication has emerged as a highly promising solution for enabling high-speed data transmission in underwater environments. The increasing demand for telemetry in unmanned underwater vehicles requires a significant increase in bandwidth capacity, surpassing the limitations of conventional acoustic technologies that currently dominate this domain. In this paper, we introduce a compact and energy-efficient optical modem for high-speed wireless underwater communication. The proposed modem offers bidirectional data transfer capabilities through the integration of transmitting LEDs and a photodiode receiver for light pulse detection, with data processing efficiently managed by an FPGA. The modem utilizes a software-defined architecture, enabling re-configurable modulation schemes and streamlining the implementation of signal filtering and processing through software, as opposed to traditional analog circuitry. Experiments conducted in a 3-meter seawater pool demonstrate a throughput of 2 Mbit/s.

This paper presents a study on the impact of temporal (TCOH) and spatial (SCOH) coherence over low SNR communications in an environment with intense upwelling and demonstrates how to use coherence as a criterion to perform multichannel combining. Using low power signals collected in a shallow water experiment, from two independent and different geometry arrays with four hydrophones each, temporal coherence was estimated. Signals whose TCOH was above a threshold were averaged and SCOH between channels were estimated. Bit error rate results showed that SCOH can be used as a criterion to discard noisy and high multipath channels. Multichannel combination based on SCOH indicated that the use of the arrays can increase the processing gain, even if the sensors are just a few wavelengths from each other. Moreover, longer averaging times provided lower BER but reduced the effective bit rate.
