Seminar: Marine Robotics in the Fast Lane: Building with the Blue Robotics Open Ecosystem
Holmes Hall 243 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluHosted jointly with the Marine Technology Society (MTS)! Tony White Applications Engineer at Blue Robotics *In-person (HOLM243) & via Zoom* Zoom meeting link Meeting ID: 890 6867 4318 Passcode: ORE From remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and custom designs for everything in-between, the Blue Robotics ecosystem provides a flexible foundation for rapid marine robotics development. With a broad catalog of subsea enclosures, the BlueOS / ArduPilot software stack, and well documented integration pathways, engineers can reduce prototyping time and focus on mission-specific innovation - not fighting to make something not leak! This talk highlights recent advancements
MS Plan B Defense: Underwater Docking Localization Using a Colored LED array for EPnP Pose Estimation
POST 418 1000 Pope Road, Room 418, HonoluluSteve Wilhelm Masters Student Department of Ocean & Resources Engineering University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa **This defense will be held in POST 418 and Zoom** Meeting ID: 812 1394 3815 Passcode: SteveMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/81213943815 Abstract A Visual pose estimation framework designed to inform an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation system using a single camera and an LED-based visual target is presented. The method uses a color-based filter which narrows potential solutions. It utilizes the Efficient Perspective-n Point (EPnP) algorithm to determine the six-degree-of-freedom pose of the AUV relative to a docking station. A simulated projection analysis methodology is introduced to assist in the
Seminar: Decision Making for Marine Robotics
Holmes 247 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluDr. Geoff Hollinger Associate Professor Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CoRIS) Institute Oregon State University Location Information: **this seminar will be held both in person (Holmes Hall 247) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 960 4654 5799 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96046545799 Underwater gliders, propeller-driven submersibles, and other marine robots are increasingly being tasked with gathering information (e.g., in environmental monitoring, offshore inspection, and coastal surveillance scenarios). However, in most existing scenarios, human operators must carefully plan the mission to ensure completion of the task. Strict human oversight not only makes such deployments expensive and time consuming but also makes some tasks impossible due to the requirement for heavy cognitive
