      Over the last decade, ocean sunfish movements have been monitored worldwide using various satellite tracking methods. This study reports the near-real time monitoring of fine-scale (< 10 m) behaviour of sunfish. The study ...
    • Trajectory Tracking and Path Following for Underactuated Marine Vehicles 

      Paliotta, Claudio; Lefeber, Erjen; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad; Pinto, José; Costa, Maria; Borgesde de Sousa, João Tasso de Figueiredo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In this paper, we present a control strategy for trajectory tracking and path following of generic paths for underactuated marine vehicles. Our work is inspired and motivated by previous works on ground vehicles. In ...
