Autonomous underwater docking is of the utmost importance for expanding the capabilities of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Due to a historical focus on underwater docking to only static targets, the research gap in underwater docking to dynamically active targets has been left relatively untouched. We address the state estimation problem that arises when trying to rendezvous a chaser AUV w...
