    A Survey on Uninhabited Underwater Vehicles (uuv)
    (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2009) Aytar, Erman Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    This work presents the initiation of our underwater robotics research which will be focused on underwater vehicle-manipulator systems. Our aim is to build an underwater vehicle with a robotic manipulator which has a robust system and also can compensate itself under the influence of the hydrodynamic effects. In this paper, overview of the existing underwater vehicle systems, thruster designs, their dynamic models and control architectures are given. The purpose and results of the existing methods in underwater robotics are investigated.

    Design and Testing of an Innovative Cleaning Tool for Underwater Applications
    (SAGE Publications, 2016) Gündoğdu, Hilal Tolasa; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Taner, Barış; Ridolfi, Alessandro; Costanzi, Riccardo; Allotta, Benedetto
    The aim of this work is to describe the development of an innovative cleaning tool for underwater applications, to be used in particular in the field of underwater archaeology. This work takes place in the framework of the EU FP7-funded ARROWS project. ARROWS adapts and develops low-cost autonomous underwater vehicle technologies to significantly reduce the costs of underwater archaeological operations, covering the full extent of archaeological campaigns. The project deals with underwater mapping, diagnosis and cleaning tasks. During the first half of the project, a cleaning tool prototype, able to be mounted on underwater vehicles, has been worked out: this cleaning tool will be exploited not only during research missions but also for the periodic monitoring, controlling and maintenance activities of well-known underwater archaeological sites (e.g. periodic cleaning operations).

    An Innovative Cleaning Tool for Underwater Soft Cleaning Operations
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Gündoğdu, Hilal Tolasa; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Taner, Barış; Ridolfi, Alessandro; Costanzi, Riccardo; Allotta, Benedetto
    This work takes place in the framework of the EU FP7 funded ARROWS project. In ARROWS project, low-cost autonomous underwater vehicle technologies are adapted and developed to significantly reduce the costs of underwater archaeological operations, covering the full extent of archaeological campaign. The project aims to deal with underwater mapping, diagnosis and cleaning tasks. This paper, specifically, describes the development of a cleaning tool (CT) to be used in cleaning underwater archaeological sites. This cleaning tool will be exploited not only during research missions, but also for the periodic monitoring, controlling and maintenance activity of well-known underwater archaeological sites (e.g. periodic cleaning operations). In this paper, the design criteria, working principles, the design and the performance tests of the developed CT are explained in details. The performance results are discussed in the final section.
