788.11J Presentation“Multi-AUV Control”Presented ByMukundan Sridharan
The Main Idea • Cooperative control of multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), using VBAP • VBAP: Virtual Body and Artificial Potentials • Adaptable formation Control, based on sensor feedback • Design in 3D space • Bounded Error • Design dynamics for the VB, like rotation, dilation.
The Main Achievements and Contribution • Making it work • VBAP Algorithm • Glider Simulator • Implementation Design
The Challenges • Underwater Communication (?) • The unpredictable external water currents • By considering the previous current measurements when calculating new mission paths. • Latency: • The GPS location is one cycle old • The current estimate is two cycle old.
Innovation • The design of the glider • Buoyancy engine • No external thrust • Satellite based Communication
Reference • Multi-AUV Control and Adaptive Sampling in Monterey Bay.
