To present estimation and control strategies enabling an underwater vehicle to assimilate measurements from an ALL system and estimate flow parameters for feedback control.
To investigate fluid interactions with underwater vehicles. The periodic vortexes are formed behind cylinders with different diameters (2.5, 4.5, and 10 cm) and flow velocities (9.9, 19.6, and 26.1 cm s−1).
To identify and discriminate flow regimens, detect the orientation with respect to the flow direction, measure the flow speed, and estimate the robot position in the wake of an object.
