DESCRIPTION:Prof. A. Pedro Aguiar\, Laboratory of Robotics and Systems in 
 Engineering and Science (LARSyS)\,\nInstituto Superior Técnico\, Technica
 l University of Lisbon\, Portugal.\nThis talk addresses the general topic 
 of cooperative navigation and motion control of marine vehicles\, both fro
 m a theoretical and a practical standpoint. The presentation is rooted in 
 practical developments and experiments. Examples of scientific mission sce
 narios with autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and autonomous underwater v
 ehicles (AUVs)\, acting alone or in cooperation\, set the stage for the ma
 in contents of the presentation. From a theoretical standpoint\, special a
 ttention is given to a number of challenging problems that include: i) coo
 perative motion control of fleets of autonomous vehicles and ii) cooperati
 ve vehicle navigation using geophysical and single-beacon measurements. Th
 e efficacy of some of the systems developed has been shown during real tes
 ts at sea. Recent results on cooperative motion control with applications 
 to the development of devices for robot-assisted diving operations are als
 o described. The results are illustrated with videos from actual field tes
 ts with multiple marine robots and a human diver in the loop. The core mat
 erial presented in the talk was obtained in the scope of the EC GREX and C
 O3AUVs projects (http://www.grex-project.eu) and  (http://www.co3-auvs.or
