Raspi²USBL: An open-source Raspberry Pi–Based Passive Inverted Ultra-Short Baseline Positioning System for Underwater Robotics

Jin Huang, Yingqiang Wang, Ying Chen

In this work, we built Raspi²USBL, a Raspberry Pi-based passive inverted ultra-short baseline (piUSBL) positioning system for underwater robotics. The goal is simple: make underwater acoustic positioning easier to reproduce, modify, and test in real …

A DVL-Aided Loosely Coupled Inertial Navigation Strategy for AUVs with Attitude Error Modeling and Variance Propagation

Jin Huang, Zichen Liu, Haoda Li, Zhikun Wang, Ying Chen

In underwater navigation systems, strap-down inertial navigation system/Doppler velocity log (SINS/DVL)-based loosely coupled architectures are widely adopted. Conventional approaches project DVL velocities from the body coordinate system to the navigation …
