Underwater communication and robot technologies have grown rapidly in the last decade. Systems made of underwater unmanned vehicles have moved from single vehicle deployments to systems comprising teams of assets. As of today the possibility to support cooperation and interoperability of heterogeneous platforms is a key issue. The objective of this paper is to present the SUNRISE [1] approach to overcome...
The Porto University testbed developed under the SUNRISE FP7 project is described along with its intended uses for experimentation with Future Internet technologies. First, the SUNRISE project and the FIRE initiative are briefly described as background information for the presentation of the testbed. Second, the key components of the testbed are presented with reference to ocean going autonomous vehicles,...
Obtaining synoptic observations of dynamic ocean phenomena such as fronts, eddies, oxygen minimum zones and blooms has been challenging primarily due to the large spatial scales involved. Traditional methods of observation with manned ships are expensive and, unless the vessel can survey at high-speed, unrealistic. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are robotic platforms that have been making steady...
This paper describes the open-source software toolchain developed by the Underwater Systems and Technology Laboratory (LSTS) for supporting networked heterogeneous air and ocean vehicle systems. The toolchain supports the deployment of air and ocean vehicles interacting over limited acoustic and wireless networks combined with disruption-tolerant networking protocols. We present the different components...
In this paper we report our research on the development of an open web-based architecture for controlling the behavior of systems composed of static sensors, mobile sensors and unmanned vehicles. We document the first implementation of the architecture and describe its application to our vehicles and sensors. We discuss the validation of this implementation in real-world deployments where one or more...
