Marine Robot Autonomy

Autonomy for Marine Robots provides a timely and insightful overview of intelligent autonomy in marine robots. A brief history of this emerging field is provided, along with a discussion of the challenges unique to the underwater environment and their impact on the level of intelligent autonomy required. Topics covered at length examine advanced frameworks, path-planning, fault tolerance, machine learning, and cooperation as relevant to marine robots that need intelligent autonomy.

List of contents

Introduction to Autonomy for Marine Robots.- Autonomy for Unmanned Marine Vehicles with MOOS-IvP.- Towards Deliberative Control in Marine Robotics.- Path Planning for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.- An Ontology Based Approach to Fault Tolerant Mission Execution for Autonomous Platforms.- Cooperation Between Underwater Vehicles.- Behaviour Adaptation by Means of Reinforcement Learning.- Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Marine Environments.
