Boosting the talent of new generations of marine engineers through robotics competitions in realistic environments: the SAUC-E and euRathlon experience
Ferri, Gabriele; Ferreira, Fausto; Djapic, Vladimir (CMRE, 2019/06)This article summarizes the experience of the NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) in the organization of the Student Autonomous Underwater Vehicle ... -
The euRathlon 2015 Grand Challenge: the first outdoor multi-domain search and rescue robotics competition - a marine perspective
Ferri, Gabriele; Ferreira, Fausto; Djapic, Vladimir; Petillot, Yvan; Palau Franco, Marta (CMRE, 2019/06)The euRathlon project was an FP7-funded Coordination and Support Action (2013-2015). Its main aim was to organize outdoor robotics competitions in realistic search and rescue response scenarios for cooperative land, sea, ... -
Experimental evaluation of Net-LBL: an acoustic network-based navigation system
Sliwka, Jan; Petroccia, Roberto; Munafò, Andrea; Djapic, Vladimir (CMRE, 2019/06)This paper describes the use and in-field evaluation of a Networked-Long Base Line system (Net-LBL) where a network of underwater nodes cooperate to support the localisation and navigation of mobile vehicles. To avoid the ... -
Forward looking sonar mosaicing for mine countermeasures
Ferreira, Fausto; Djapic, Vladimir; Micheli, Michele; Caccia, Massimo (CMRE, 2019/06)Forward looking sonars (FLS) are nowadays popular for many different applications. In particular, they can be used for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) in the context of Mine Countermeasures. Currently, ATR techniques ... -
