A pressing environmental question facing the ocean is the potential impact of possible deep-sea mining activities. This work presents our initial results in developing an ocean and plume modeling system for the Bismark Sea where deep sea mining operations will probably take place. We employ the MSEAS modeling system to both simulate the ocean and to downscale initial conditions from a global system...
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are used to execute an increasingly challenging set of missions in commercial, environmental and defense industries. The resources available to the AUV in service of these missions are typically a limited power supply and onboard sensing of its local environment. Optimal path planning is needed to maximize the chances that these AUVs will successfully complete...
We report the results of sea exercises that demonstrate the real-time capabilities of our fundamental time-optimal path planning theory and software with real ocean vehicles. The exercises were conducted with REMUS 600 Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in the Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound Regions on 21 October and 6 December 2016. Two tests were completed: (i) 1-AUV time-optimal tests and (ii)...
