Collaborative Subsea Mapping
Abstract
We propose to address fundamental challenges in collaborative mapping for a variety of underwatermapping applications. We seek new" decentralized control policies that can be computedin real-time, require minimal inter-vehicle communication, and that enable a team of cooperatingautonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to jointly maximize a rigorously defined measure ofmapping performance. The principal challenge of our project is to determine minimal communicationrequirements. We will test our results in the field by ass"isting with sea-trials being conductedby colleagues at the Naval Research Laboratory.
