Towards Physical Underwater Robotic Assistance for Scuba Diver Movement in Confined Spaces
Demetrious T. Kutzke, Junaed Sattar
Scuba divers are taught to control their depth to avoid rapid ascents and descents, which could result in serious injuries such as gas embolisms and barotrauma. However, many under…
Robotic Classification of Divers' Swimming States using Visual Pose Keypoints as IMUs
Demetrious T. Kutzke, Ying-Kun Wu, Elizabeth Terveen +1
Traditional human activity recognition uses either direct image analysis or data from wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs), but can be ineffective in challenging underwater e…
Design and Development of the MeCO Open-Source Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
David Widhalm, Cory Ohnsted, Corey Knutson +6
We present MeCO, the Medium Cost Open-source autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), a versatile autonomous vehicle designed to support research and development in underwater human-ro…
Autonomous robotic re-alignment for face-to-face underwater human-robot interaction
Demetrious T. Kutzke, Ashwin Wariar, Junaed Sattar
The use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to accomplish traditionally challenging and dangerous tasks has proliferated thanks to advances in sensing, navigation, manipulatio…
Design and Development of a Remotely-enabled Modular Release Mechanism for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Demetrious T. Kutzke, Gustavo E. Miranda López, Robert J. Herman +1
We introduce a launch device, called the remotely-enabled modular release mechanism, to augment rapid testing and prototyping of cooperative autonomy maritime applications by facil…
Robotic Detection and Estimation of Single Scuba Diver Respiration Rate from Underwater Video
Demetrious T. Kutzke, Junaed Sattar
Human respiration rate (HRR) is an important physiological metric for diagnosing a variety of health conditions from stress levels to heart conditions. Estimation of HRR is well-st…
Diver Interest via Pointing in Three Dimensions: 3D Pointing Reconstruction for Diver-AUV Communication
Chelsey Edge, Demetrious Kutzke, Megdalia Bromhal +1
This paper presents Diver Interest via Pointing in Three Dimensions (DIP-3D), a method to relay an object of interest from a diver to an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) by poin…
Tailorable Dispersion in a Four-Wave Mixing Laser
Demetrious T. Kutzke, Owen Wolfe, Simon M. Rochester +3
We present experimental results demonstrating controllable dispersion in a ring laser by monitoring the lasing-frequency response to cavity-length variations. Pumping on an N-type…
