Comparison of Guidance Modes for the AUV "Slocum Glider" in Time-Varying Ocean Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents possibilities for the reliable guidance of an AUV “Slocum Glider” in time-varying ocean flows. The presented guidance modes consider the restricted information during a real mission about the actual position and ocean current conditions as well as the available control modes of a glider. A faster-than-real-time, full software stack simulator for the Slocum glider will be described in order to test the developed guidance modes under real mission conditions. Keywords—component; AUV “Slocum Glider”; Path Planning; Glider Simulator; Time-Varying Ocean Flows; Dead Reckoning

متن کاملAssessing Automated and Human Path Planning for the Slocum Glider
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are a common tool used by oceanographers to study oceans. Most AUVs are operated by pilots who are able to interpret environmental information to make effective mission decisions; this function requires an understanding of the hardware and software of these complex systems. To enable oceanographers and pilots to more easily manage a fleet of gliders, new me...
متن کاملSolutions for Practice-oriented Requirements for Optimal Path Planning for the AUV "SLOCUM Glider"
This paper presents a few important practiceoriented requirements for optimal path planning for the AUV “SLOCUM Glider” as well as solutions using fast graph based algorithms. These algorithms build upon the TVE (time-varying environment) search algorithm. The experience with this algorithm, requirements of real missions along the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf and the idea to find the optimal...
متن کاملReal-Time Visualizations of Ocean Data Collected By The NORUS Glider in Svalbard, Norway
Modern robotics and sensors have expanded the ability to collect science data in underwater settings. Oftentimes, the collected data are deposited into files and databases where they sit in their separate and unique formats. Without easy to use visualization tools, it is difficult to understand and interpret the information within these data sets. NORUS, the North America-Norway educational pro...
