This volume contains forty papers from the 1st IFAC Workshop on Guidance and Control of Underwater Vehicles. The aim of the Workshop was to bring together academic practitioners and industrialists involved in this important and expanding area of interest in order to exchange experiences on recent advances in this field. Topics covered by the papers in this proceeding include UUV Control Applications, System Identification, UUV Architectures, Navigation, Modelling, Fault Detection and Reconfiguration. Contributors from Italy, Ireland, Japan, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, USA and the United Kingdom were represented at the workshop.The Workshop was voted a resounding success by all delegates and in the light of this vote of confidence the Technical Committee on Marine Systems is planning to run this event again in 2005, with the slightly amended title of Navigation, Guidance and Control of Underwater Vehicles

Unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs) include autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, semi-submersibles and unmanned surface craft. Considerable importance is being placed on the design and development of such vehicles, as they provide cost-effective solutions to a number of littoral, coastal and offshore problems. This book highlights the advanced technology that is evolving to meet the challenges being posed in this exciting and growing area of research.

This edited volume includes thoroughly collected on sensing and control for autonomous vehicles. Guidance, navigation and motion control systems for autonomous vehicles are increasingly important in land-based, marine and aerial operations. Autonomous underwater vehicles may be used for pipeline inspection, light intervention work, underwater survey and collection of oceanographic/biological data. Autonomous unmanned aerial systems can be used in a large number of applications such as inspection, monitoring, data collection, surveillance, etc. At present, vehicles operate with limited autonomy and a minimum of intelligence. There is a growing interest for cooperative and coordinated multi-vehicle systems, real-time re-planning, robust autonomous navigation systems and robust autonomous control of vehicles. Unmanned vehicles with high levels of autonomy may be used for safe and efficient collection of environmental data, for assimilation of climate and environmental models and to complement global satellite systems. The target audience primarily comprises research experts in the field of control theory, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
