14: Long-duration Environmentally-adaptive Autonomous Rigorous Naval Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Our long-term goal is to develop and apply new theory, algorithms and computational systems for the sustained coordinated operation of multiple collaborative autonomous vehicles over long time durations in realistic multiscale nonlinear ocean settings, such that the integrated naval system optimally collects observations, rigorously propagates information backward and forward in time, and accurately completes persistent learning, environmental adaptation, machine metacognition and decision making under uncertainty.

متن کاملAutonomous underwater vehicles for scientific and naval operations
Recognizing the potential of autonomous underwater vehicles for scientific and military applications, in 1997 MIT and the NATO Undersea Research Centre initiated a Joint Research Project (GOATS), for the development of environmentally adaptive robotic technology applicable to mine counter measures (MCM) and rapid environmental assessment (REA) in coastal environments. The August 2001 GOATS Conf...
متن کاملToward Meta-level Control of Autonomous Agents
Metareasoning is an important capability for autonomous systems, particularly for those being deployed on long duration missions. An agent with increased self-observation and the ability to control itself in response to changing environments will be more capable in achieving its goals. This is essential for long-duration missions where system designers will not be able to, theoretically or prac...

متن کاملAdaptive Neural Network Method for Consensus Tracking of High-Order Mimo Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...
