Virtual Elastic Tether: A New Approach for Multi‐Agent Navigation in Confined Aquatic Environments

Kanzhong Yao, Xueliang Cheng, Keir Groves, Barry Lennox et autres

ABSTRACT Underwater navigation is a challenging area in the field of mobile robotics due to inherent constraints in self‐localization and communication in underwater environments. Some of these challenges can be mitigated by using collaborative multi‐agent teams. However, when applied underwater, the robustness …

Confined Space Underwater Positioning Using Collaborative Robots

Xueliang Cheng, Kanzhong Yao, Andrew West, Ognjen Marjanović et autres

Positioning of underwater robots in confined and cluttered spaces remains a key challenge for field operations. Existing systems are mostly designed for large, open-water environments and struggle in industrial settings due to poor coverage, reliance on external infrastructure, and the need for …

Development and Extension of a Robot Network Platform Using RSNP

Nobuto Matsuhira, Young-woon Song, Kanzhong Yao, Christopher Bishop et autres

Robots are increasingly desired for various tasks as societal challenges become more complex. Networking robots and sensors using the common robot service network protocol (RSNP) creates a platform to address regional challenges. We developed a control system for seamless switching between remote …
