Simulation and Rapid Prototyping Environment for Auv Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interest in deployment of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), such as AUV swarms, has been increasing. AUV swarms can reduce mission completion times and increase the system reliability. One of the basic constraints of these multiple vehicle systems is the limited communication between AUVs through the very challenging underwater acoustic channel. Even though reliable point-to-point communications through the acoustic channel can be successfully established, much research is needed to connect multiple AUVs within a network. In this paper, we present a simulation and prototyping environment

Integrated Simulation for Rapid Development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
The development and testing of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) hardware and software is greatly complicated by vehicle inaccessibility during operation. Integrated simulation remotely links vehicle components and support equipment with graphics simulation workstations, allowing complete real-time, pre-mission, pseudo-mission and post-mission visualization and analysis in the lab environment...
متن کاملAn Integrated Prototyping and Simulation Architecture for Space Specific Protocol Developments and Verifications
The design and development of future satellite networks includes preferably, besides a thorough system definition phase, the simulation of the entire satellite network with special interest on the network behavior and the (prototype based) development of system components. Especially with respect to the development of MAC protocols which should preferably included at an earliest stage in the ne...
متن کاملRapid software prototyping for real-time simulation and control of a mini-helicopter robot
This paper presents a rapid software prototyping environment, based on Matlab/Simulink, for realtime simulation and control of a mini-helicopter robot. The application of the environment is illustrated with a software-in-the-loop simulation example. The environment is integrated by own modules (mini-helicopter simulation model, navigation filter, multirate control, filters) and modules based on...
متن کاملEssential Real-Time and Modeling tools for Robot Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is essential in robotics. The Waterfall method is usually used to design complex systems, but this method has some drawbacks. Rapid Prototyping is a more recent approach, which is more suitable for real-time systems design We propose a set of three requirements in order to have a flexible real-time systems design environment. SYMOFROS, a symbolic modeling and simulation softwa...
متن کاملHardware Synthesis for Neural Networks from a Behavioral Description with VHDL
In this paper we present a system for automatic synthesis of special purpose hardware for neural networks. Only an algorithmic description of the behaviour of the hardware and a simulation environment have to be written by the designer using VHDL. This description can be automatically mapped onto hardware using the synthesis tool CALLAS and the design system MENTOR. Using the concept of a simul...
