Sea-state interaction based dynamic model of the Liquid Robotics' Wave Glider: Modelling and control of a hybrid multi-body vessel

A new class of unmanned marine research vessels makes use of wave propulsion to minimise energy requirements during voyages. Existing models of these hybrid sea-surface and underwater craft have not considered if the platform’s interaction with the immediate surrounding sea could be incorporated to...
