Task-Oriented Sensing and Covert Transmissions for Collaborative Multi-AUV Systems

arXiv:2607. 13880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In underwater covert cooperative missions, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) often cannot rely on active sonar to continuously obtain complete information, since active sensing and frequent communications increase the risk of exposure.

Task-Oriented Sensing and Covert Transmissions for Collaborative Multi-AUV Systems

In underwater covert cooperative missions, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) often cannot rely on active sonar to continuously obtain complete information, since active sensing and frequent communications increase the risk of exposure. As a result, AUVs primarily rely on passive observation, an approach that yields incomplete local perception and limited task efficiency.

Autonomous Subsea Cable Search and Tracking with Graph-Optimised Priors and Visual Tracking

Global communications rely on subsea cable infrastructure that remains vulnerable to damage from natural hazards and human activity. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) offer an efficient means to inspect long sections of exposed cable, but uncertainty in cable route maps, small cable diameters and partial burial makes continuous tracking a challenge.
