The Development of a Highly Maneuverable Underwater Vehicle
, 1998
"... A highly maneuverable underwater vehicle that can be operated remotely with computer assistance was designed, fabricated and tested by researchers at the University of Florida. The vehicle incorporates many off-the-shelf components in order to minimize cost. The body was constructed using a foam cor ..."

Direct Homography Control for Highly Maneuverable Vehicles
"... Abstract—This paper introduces a new vision based controller that uses the entries of a homography matrix to control a highly maneuverable mobile robot. It aims to reduce the sensitivity of the control to calibration errors through connection of the perception and control in the data space of the se ..."

Biological Designs for Enhanced Maneuverability: Analysis of
- Marine Mammal Performance,” 10th Int. Symp. Unmanned Untethered Submersible Technology, Special Session on Bio-Engineering Research Related to AUV
, 1997
"... Abstract- Maneuverability is critical to the performance of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) and fast swimming marine mammals which use rapid turns to catch prey. Overhead video records were analyzed for seven cetacean species (29-4536 kg) and sea lions (88-138 kg) turning in the horizontal plan ..."

Safe Set Maneuverability of Impaired Aircraft
"... The flight envelope can be viewed as a set within the state space of an aircraft. For various safety considerations an aircraft is required to remain within its prescribed flight envelope. The safe set is the largest controlled invariant set within the flight envelope. Thus, if an aircraft is to rem ..."

is to remain within its envelope it must stay within the safe set. When an aircraft is impaired, e.g., a jammed elevator or an engine loss, the safe set shrinks as would be expected. In this paper we consider the ability of an aircraft to maneuver within the safe set. Maneuverability performance is usually
Advanced non-linear control algorithms applied to design highly maneuverable Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
"... Abstract — An increasing variety of sensors are becoming available for use onboard autonomous vehicles. Given these enhanced sensing capabilities, scientific and military personnel are interested in exploiting autonomous vehicles for increasingly complex missions. Most of these missions require the ..."

the vehicle to function in complex, cluttered environments and react to changing environmental parameters. The present state-of-art vehicles are not maneuverable enough to successfully accomplish most of these tasks. In this research, a nonlinear controller was derived, designed, implemented in simulation

Maneuverability Strategy for Assistive Vehicles Navigating within Confined Spaces
"... Abstract In this work, a path planning strategy for both a car-like and a unicycle type assistive vehicles is presented. The assistive vehicles are confined to restricted environments. The path planning strategy uses the environment information to generate a kinematically plausible path to be follow ..."

Performance constraints on the maneuverability of flexible and rigid biological systems
- Proceedings of the Eleventh International Symposium on Unmanned Untethered Submersible Technology

"... ABSTRACT- Flexible bodies possessed by fish and marine mammals have been shown to permit high levels of performance with respect to maneuverability. However, flexibility has been avoided in the construction of engineered vehicles. Mechanisms to enhance turning performance with rigid bodies were asse ..."
