Autonom sj�m�tning i grunda vatten
项目名称: Autonom sj�m�tning i grunda vatten
摘要: This project is a continuation of project 14-03634 which showed promising results in both the development of efficient scanning methods as well as the development and design of the platform for autonomous mapping. The prototype is developed based upon a requirement scenario to autonomously perform hydrographic surveys in shallow water. The prototype can easily be transported, handled, launched, salvaged, etc. by two people, even in relatively unfavorable conditions. lts single-hull design with differential thruster-steering provides robustness and extremely good maneuverability. The present study intends to further develop search pattern algorithms and the vehicle platform as well as continuously demonstrate progress in a realistic environment. A second generation of the platform will be developed and equipped with e.g. more accurate navigation, more efficient propulsion, optimized thrusters, customized power management, robust design, better communication with the escort boat, lighter structure, etc. Topics and issues not covered by the project 14-03634. Cooperating autonomous vehicles: The technology to develop airborne and land based drones has accelerated the past decade. A similar development can be predicted at sea and the development of autonomous marine vehicles will accelerate in the coming decade. Research about autonomous vehicles, both airborne and on land, is ongoing at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm), including lTRL, Vehicular & Flight technology as well as within the robotics area. The present project aims to initiate the work at KTH to study co-operating autonomous vehicles, with the two vehicles as base-line. Although the study is conducted on the basis of hydrographical surveys, the usefulness of the study may be potentially far wider. The aim to increase the usage of inland waterways with a higher Vehicular density and increased level of autonomous behaviors in combination with increased security requirements, at all levels, will require well-established and cooperative strategies. Although the scope ofthe study is relatively limited, its implementation will probably lead to new ideas of interdisciplinary collaborations between research centers at KTH (and other institutions) in a number of fields such as robotics, computer imaging processing, Control theory, applied mathematics, etc. Domains where expertise already exist today, but they do not necessarily devote their time to maritime applications. Therefore, initial studies and experiments with these small vessels (which due to their small displacement are harmless to other maritime operations) would have the potential to be costeffective, illustrative and thus serve as a good facilitator towards further study.
