  • Pose detection and control of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) utilizing an optical detector array
    Patent number: 10183732
    Abstract: Optical detectors and methods of optical detection for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are disclosed. The disclosed optical detectors and may be used to dynamically position UUVs in both static-dynamic systems (e.g., a fixed light source as a guiding beacon and a UUV) and dynamic-dynamic systems (e.g., a moving light source mounted on the crest of a leader UUV and a follower UUV).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2019
    Assignee: University of New Hamphire
    Inventors: Barbaros Celikkol, Firat Eren, Shachak Pe'eri, Yuri Rzhanov, M. Robinson Swift, May-Win Thein
  • Optical based pose detection for multiple unmanned underwater vehicles
    Patent number: 9812018
    Abstract: A system and method for optical communication between multiple UUVs, more specifically, for leader-follower formations between UUVs. The system focuses on the characterization and modeling of a 1-dimensional and/or 3-dimensional light field produced from a light source mounted on a Leader UUV, which is detected by one or more follower UUVs. Communication algorithms are used to monitor the UUV's motion and orientation utilizing simulators, look up tables, and the like. A variety of detectors arrays can be used in a variety of wavelengths depending on the desired application.
