Recent advancements in autonomous swarm systems mark a pivotal point in robotic science. Using a large-scale swarm of simple robots for complex tasks offers efficient, robust, and reliable solutions, inspired by natural phenomena. While bio-inspired methods are effective, approaches inspired by phys…
Confined and cluttered aquatic environments present a number of significant challenges with respect to inspection by robotic platforms, including localisation and communications. Some of these can be mitigated by using collaborative heterogeneous multi-robot teams. An important element of such a sys…
This work presents a practical method of obtaining a dynamic system model for small omnidirectional aquatic vehicles. The models produced can be used to improve vehicle localisation, aid in the design or tuning of control systems and facilitate the development of simulated environments. The use of a…
