    • A Deep Learning Approach To Dead-Reckoning Navigation For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles With Limited Sensor Payloads 

      Saksvik, Ivar; Alcocer, Alex; Hassani, Vahid (OCEANS;OCEANS 2021: San Diego – Porto, Conference object, 2022)
      This paper presents a deep learning approach to aid dead-reckoning (DR) navigation using a limited sensor suite. A Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) was developed to predict the relative horizontal velocities of an Autonomous ...

    • Design and Testing of a Composite Pressure Hull for Deep Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. 

      Elkolali, Moustafa; Alcocer, Alex (IEEE Access;Volume: 10, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-16)
      This paper outlines the design and testing process of the hull of a deep small Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), rated at 2000m depth. Many existing AUV pressure housings use aluminum or other isotropic traditional ...

    • Design and Testing of a Miniature Variable Buoyancy System for Underwater Vehicles 

      Elkolali, Moustafa; Al-Tawil, Ahmed; Alcocer, Alex (IEEE Access;Volume 10, 2022, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-18)
      Buoyancy-driven underwater vehicles are key tools for obtaining data from the ocean. Underwater gliders and profiling floats, equipped with sensors, provide crucial information on ocean processes and climate changes. The ...

    • Experiences and Trends in Control Education: A HiOA/USN Perspective 

      Komulainen, Tiina M.; Alcocer, Alex; Haugen, Finn (Chapter; Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2016)
      Global trends in higher education including e-learning, massive open online courses, and new teaching methods have positively affected control education. Control course content has evolved due to changes in industrial ...
