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: A Navigation System to Enable Real-Time Relative Positioning at Sea
Holmes 287 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluMatthew Feeley Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held in-person only at Holmes 287 Oceanographic research conducted by unmanned robotic swarms demands spatially precise coordination of vessels. Although research in position control of autonomous vessels has advanced, it is challenging to acquire relative positioning guidance at sea without committing significant resources toward vessel modifications or new equipment. This paper presents an overview of NarwhalNav, a navigation technology designed to make relative positioning data more accessible. NarwhalNav integrates a GNSS receiver, radio and software into a mobile package for rapid
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
