Marine Robot Autonomy

<p><i>Autonomy for Marine Robots </i>provides a timely and insightful overview of intelligent autonomy in marine robots. A brief history of this emerging field is provided, along with a discussion of the challenges unique to the underwater environment and their impact on the level of intelligent autonomy required. Topics covered at length examine advanced frameworks, path-planning, fault tolerance, machine learning, and cooperation as relevant to marine robots that need intelligent autonomy. </p><p>This book also:</p><p>Discusses and offers solutions for the unique challenges presented by more complex missions and the dynamic underwater environment when operating autonomous marine robots</p><p>Includes case studies that demonstrate intelligent autonomy in marine robots to perform underwater simultaneous localization and mapping</p><p><i> Autonomy for Marine Robots </i>is an ideal book for researchers and engineers interested in the field of marine robots.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
