Collapse Button Quick Abstract
An important task in underwater autonomous vehicle swarm management is the knowledge of the graph topology, to be obtained with the minimum possible communication exchanges and amid heavy interferences and background noises. Despite the importance of the task, this problem is still partially unsolved. Recently, the Fast Fourier Transform and the addition of white noise to consensus signals have been proposed independently to determine respectively the laplacian spectrum and the adjacency matrix of the graph of interacting agents from consensus time series, but both methodologies suffer technical difficulties. In this paper, we combine them in order to simplify calculations, save energy and avoid topological reconstruction errors using only the largest eigenvalue of the spectrum and instead of white noise, a high frequency, low amplitude noise. Numerical simulations of several swarms (random, small-world, pipeline, grid) show an exact reconstruction of the configuration topologies.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
A three dimensional localisation algorithm for a swarm of underwater vehicles is presented. The proposed approach is grounded on an extended Kalman filter (EKF) scheme used to fuse some proprioceptive data such as the vessel’s speed and some esteroceptive measurement such as the time of flight (TOF) sonar distance of the companion vessels. The results of several simulations are presented. Some considerations about the available underwater bandwidth and the communication needed by the approach are discussed.

Proceedings of ICINCO 2012, ISBN: 978-989-8565-21-1

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
A modification of the flocking algorithm approach for a swarm of underwater vehicles is introduced. The proposed approach relaxes the symmetry of the inter vehicle interaction. It is thus possible to change the swarm spatial configuration assuming different formations with varying parameters. The swarm geometry is changed with a very limited effort, exploiting the capability of the flocking approach to make emerge a large scale arrangement. Examples of proposed variations are provided. The vehicles are dynamically modelled and the relative non holonomic proportional derivative controller is described. Experimental data are gathered from many vehicle physical simulations and graphically presented.
