1. µ-synthesis for unmanned underwater vehicles current disturbance rejection
This note focuses attention on a novel approach to disturbance rejection when the µ-synthesis control procedure is applied to Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs). Environmental external disturbances simplify to ocean current for a totally submerged vehicle and greatly contributes for hydrodynamical loads and the tether cable disturbance. Our case scenario d

2. Appearance-based odometry and mapping with feature descriptors for underwater robots
The use of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for underwater tasks is a promising robotic field. These robots can carry visual inspection cameras. Besides serving the activities of inspection and mapping, the captured images can also be used to aid navigation and localization of the robots. Visual odometry is the process of determining the position and or

3. Experimental methodology for the obtaining of the hydrodynamic parameters of VSNT JAHU II, based in digital image processing. / Metodologia experimental para obtenção dos parâmetros hidrodinâmicos do VSNT JAHU II, baseado em processamento digital de imagens.
Unmanned underwater vehicles they have been used continually by the planet in spite of the difficulties of your operation, both for scientific observation, but also for monitoring of engineering works. The positions of these vehicles are controlled, in general, which makes manually they work long and tiring to their pilots. An alternative that simplifies thi

4. Model checking underwater vehicles control architectures: a formal specification based approach. / Checagem de arquiteturas de controle de veículos submarinos: uma abordagem baseada em especificações formais.
The development of control architectures for Underwater Vehicles is a complex task. These control architectures might be chracterised by the following attributes: real-time, multitasking, concurrency, and distributed over communication networks. In this scenario, we have multiple processes running in parallel, possibly distributed, and engaging in communicat

6. Modelagem e identificação de parâmetros hidrodinâmicos de um veículo robótico submarino. / Modelling and Identification of hydrodynamic parameters of an underwater robotic vehicle.
In this work, a procedure for experimental identification of hydrodynamic coefficients of unmanned underwater vehicles is presented. At first, the development of a testbed for research on dynamics, control, and navigation of underwater vehicles is presented. This experimental platform includes: 1) a open-frame semi-autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle name

7. Fuller Phenomenon in optimal control problems: minimum time path of autonomous underwater vehicles. / Fenômeno Fuller em problemas de controle ótimo: trajetórias em tempo mínino de veículos autônomos subaquáticos
As equações do modelo bidimensional de veículos autônomos subaquáticos fornecem um exemplo de sistema de controle não linear com o qual podemos ilustrar propriedades da teoria de controle ótimo. Apresentamos, sistematicamente, como os conceitos de formalismo hamiltoniano e teoria de Lie aparecem de forma natural neste contexto. Para tanto, estudamos b

8. Using augmented state Kalman filter to localize multi autonomous underwater vehicles
The present paper describes a system for the construction of visual maps ("mosaics") and motion estimation for a set of AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles). Robots are equipped with down-looking camera which is used to estimate their motion with respect to the seafloor and built an online mosaic. As the mosaic increases in size, a systematic bias is introd
