This work presents a description of Guanay II AUV ballast system, which consists in 3 blocks of foam distributed along the vehicle, and a weighs system in the central part in order to realize a fine tuning. Likewise it ...

The AUV Guanay II is a vehicle developed by SARTI research group of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya with the objective of providing a platform for measuring oceanographic variables, such as the temperature and ...

This thesis deals with the further development of an existing underwater vehicle for autonomous navigation. The vehicle was conceived to navigate over the sea surface and, at certain fixed points, to dive vertically in ...

En este trabajo se presenta el diseño y construcción del vehículo Guanay II. Es un vehículo autónomo submarino que navega sobre la superficie marina y en determinados puntos preestablecidos realiza inmersiones en vertical ...

This work proposes the development of a control system for an autonomous underwater vehicle dedicated to the observation of the oceans. The vehicle, a hybrid between Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Autonomous Surface ...

This work shows the mathematic calculation for obtention of a Cormoran-AUV hydrodynamic model, it also shows a linar control design for a path tracking. The model has been simplified to three degrees of freedom of movement ...

This work presents the last contributions incorporated into AUV Guanay II, these have been emerged after some test fields, tests in the swimming pool and in the ocean, such as Mar Menor and Mar Mediterrani. These ...

This work shows a mathematic calculation of the hydrodynamic model for the Cormoran-AUV, together with a linear controller which is valid in a certain range of speeds. It also presents the navigation instruments needed to ...
