Exploiting Cheap Computation for Optimal Cooperative Navigation and Lengthened Mission Duration

Abstract

Our research intends to design, develop, and demonstrate the efficacy of coordination algorithms in allowing UUVsto 1) stay underwater longer, 2) increase bandwidth for mission-specific communications, and 3) enable human-swarm interactions that allow heterogeneous teams to easily incorporate human input into their coordination. The Navy is interested in extending the mission duration of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and improving their ability to operate autonomously. Our research intends to design, develop, and demonstrate the efficacy of coordination algorithms in allowing UUVs to 1) stay underwater longer, 2) increase bandwidth for mission-specific communications, and 3) enable human-swarm interactions that allow heterogeneous teams to easily incorporate human input into their coordination.
