Active Localization of Close-range Adversarial Acoustic Sources for Underwater Data Center Surveillance
Adnan Abdullah, David Blow, Sara Rampazzi +1
Underwater data infrastructures offer natural cooling and enhanced physical security compared to terrestrial facilities, but their storage systems remain susceptible to acoustic in…
EgoExo++: Integrating On-demand Exocentric Visuals with 2.5D Ground Surface Estimation for Interactive Teleoperation of Underwater ROVs
Adnan Abdullah, Ruo Chen, Ioannis Rekleitis +1
Underwater ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) are indispensable for subsea exploration and task execution, yet typical teleoperation engines based on egocentric (first-person) video…
NemeSys: Toward Online Underwater Exploration with Remote Operator-in-the-loop Adaptive Autonomy
Adnan Abdullah, Alankrit Gupta, Vaishnav Ramesh +2
Adaptive mission control and dynamic parameter reconfiguration are essential for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating in GPS-denied, communication-limited marine environ…
SubSense: VR-Haptic and Motor Feedback for Immersive Control in Subsea Telerobotics
Ruo Chen, David Blow, Adnan Abdullah +1
This paper investigates the integration of haptic feedback and virtual reality (VR) control interfaces to enhance teleoperation and telemanipulation of underwater ROVs (remotely op…
VL-Explore: Zero-shot Vision-Language Exploration and Target Discovery by Mobile Robots
Yuxuan Zhang, Adnan Abdullah, Sanjeev J. Koppal +1
Vision-language navigation (VLN) has emerged as a promising paradigm, enabling mobile robots to perform zero-shot inference and execute tasks without specific pre-programming. Howe…
Human-Machine Interfaces for Subsea Telerobotics: From Soda-straw to Natural Language Interactions
Adnan Abdullah, David Blow, Ruo Chen +3
This review explores the evolution of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) in subsea telerobotics, charting the progression from traditional first-person "soda-straw" consoles -- charac…
