Sonar Mapping and Obstacle Avoidance for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles in Unknown Marine Environments

Guoshun Liu, Shanmin Zhou, Huarong Zheng, Shuo Liu, Wen Xu

RA-L 2026

This letter proposes a safe navigation framework for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that integrates sonar mapping and motion planning operating in unknown environments. The challenge is that sparse sonar data causes incomplete obstacle boundaries, posing risks to the vehicle's safe navigation

MVINS: A Magnetism&vision Aided Inertial Navigation System for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Bingbing Zhang, Shuo Liu, Daxiong Ji, Tao Wang, Shanmin Zhou, Zhengfei Wang +2

RA-L 2025

We present a robust underwater navigation system that integrates magnetic, visual, and inertial measurements from commercial off-the-shelf sensors. Visual Inertial Navigation Systems (VINS) face challenges when used for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) localization in perceptually degraded enviro
