Sonar based navigation of an autonomous underwater vehicle

A navigation algorithm to navigate an AUV within a charted environment is presented. The algorithm uses sonar range measurements and incorporates them with a potential function which defines the map of the operation area. Extended Kalman filtering is used in the algorithm. Least squares techniques a...
