This talk addresses the general topic of cooperative navigation and motion control of marine vehicles, both from a theoretical and a practical standpoint. The presentation is rooted in practical developments and experiments. Examples of scientific mission scenarios with autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), acting alone or in cooperation, set the stage for the main contents of the presentation. From a theoretical standpoint, special attention is given to a number of challenging problems that include: i) cooperative motion control of fleets of autonomous vehicles and ii) cooperative vehicle navigation using geophysical and single-beacon measurements. The efficacy of some of the systems developed has been shown during real tests at sea. Recent results on cooperative motion control with applications to the development of devices for robot-assisted diving operations are also described. The results are illustrated with videos from actual field tests with multiple marine robots and a human diver in the loop. The core material presented in the talk was obtained in the scope of the EC GREX and CO3AUVs projects (http://www.grex-project.eu) and (http://www.co3-auvs.org)
