CougarTail & CUB: A General-Purpose Mast and Central Utility Board for Cylindrical Underwater Enclosures
Ben Washburn, Clayton Smith, Eli Gaskin +4
Cylindrical watertight enclosures are widely used across various underwater systems, from unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), to remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), to various sens…
Low-cost Multi-agent Fleet for Acoustic Cooperative Localization Research
Nelson Durrant, Braden Meyers, Matthew McMurray +5
Real-world underwater testing for multi-agent autonomy presents substantial financial and engineering challenges. In this work, we introduce the Configurable Underwater Group of Au…
Testing and Evaluation of Underwater Vehicle Using Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulation with HoloOcean
Braden Meyers, Joshua G. Mangelson
Testing marine robotics systems in controlled environments before field tests is challenging, especially when acoustic-based sensors and control surfaces only function properly und…
A Preview of HoloOcean 2.0
Blake Romrell, Abigail Austin, Braden Meyers +3
Marine robotics simulators play a fundamental role in the development of marine robotic systems. With increased focus on the marine robotics field in recent years, there has been s…
RecGS: Removing Water Caustic with Recurrent Gaussian Splatting
Tianyi Zhang, Weiming Zhi, Kaining Huang +3
Water caustics are commonly observed in seafloor imaging data from shallow-water areas. Traditional methods that remove caustic patterns from images often rely on 2D filtering or p…
