In this thesis, we consider inter-robot communication in robot convoying settings. In particular, we investigate passive communication for radio-denied environments by using whole-body gestures performed by an underwater robot to provide cues regarding future actions. We first focus on visually detecting and tracking the 3D pose of autonomous underwater vehicles to enable robust multi-robot convoying. We follow the approach of tracking-by-detection, which combines the robust, drift-free nature of object detection with the temporal consistency of tracking algorithms. Our approach relies on a multi-output convolutional network that jointly predicts the target robot's presence in the image, its 2D bounding box, and its 3D orientation. This, co...
