Autonomous underwater vehicles are used nowadays in many applications. One of
the applications is mapping of a particular area of the ocean. Quen the robot
needs to cover the area of interest and no prior knowledge of the area to be
covered is avaialbe, a robotic exploration algorithm is used.
This thesis develops a robotic exploration algorithm for autonomous
underwater vehicles. The proposed algorithm allows the full exploration of a
2D or 3D environment, using acoustic sensors such as a scanning profiling sonar or a multibeam, and optical cameras.
The validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through numerous
experiments carried out in different locations of the catalan coast, using
different vehicles and sensor suites
