• Energy harvesting and practical stabilization of underwater snake robots 

      Orucevic, Amer (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:429, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Energy efficiency is crucial for the operational time and reach of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). A new class of AUVs, underwater snake robots (USRs), has an articulated body that may be utilized to enhance propulsion ...
    • Optimal Positioning of Snake Robots in Vortex Wakes using Extremum-Seeking Control. 

      Orucevic, Amer; Lysø, Mads Erlend Bøe; Schmidt-Didlaukies, Henrik; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad; Gravdahl, Jan Tommy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In this paper we explore the optimal positioning of an underwater snake robot (USR) for energy harvesting in the wake of a bluff body. The USR and fluid are simulated jointly using a coupled vortex particle-mesh method and ...
    • Underwater snake robots in vortex wakes: Energy harvesting and position control 

      Orucevic, Amer (Master thesis, 2020)
      Denne oppgaven utforsker mulighetene for bruk av bølgebevegelser til energisamling. Ved å utnytte virvlene som oppstår bak en sylinder er målet å oppnå energiautonomitet i artikulerte intervensjons-autonome undervannsfarkoster ...
    • Uniform Practical Asymptotic Stability for Position Control of Underwater Snake Robots 

      Orucevic, Amer; Gravdahl, Jan Tommy; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad; Chaillet, Antoine (Chapter, 2022)
      In this paper, Lyapunov theory for uniform practical asymptotic stability (UPAS) is presented and utilized to solve the problem of position control of a planar underwater snake robot (USR). First, a precise definition of ...
