Title
A localization approach for autonomous underwater vehicles: A ROS-Gazebo framework.
Abstract
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have the ability to operate in harsh underwater environments without endangering human lives in the process. Nevertheless, just like their ground and aerial counterparts, AUVs need to be able to estimate their own position. Yet, unlike ground and aerial robots, estimating the pose of AUVs is very challenging, with only a few high-cost technological solutions available in the market. In this paper, we present the development of a realistic underwater acoustic model, implemented within the Robot Operating System (ROS) and the Gazebo simulator framework, for localization of AUVs using a set of water surface robots, time of flight of underwater propagated acoustic waves, and a multilateration genetic algorithm approach.
