Boosting the talent of new generations of marine engineers through robotics competitions in realistic environments: the SAUC-E and euRathlon experience
(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
(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, ...
A data-driven control strategy in synergy with continuous active sonar for littoral underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2017/11)
In this work, we describe a data-driven Mission Management Layer (MML) running on-board AUVs which manages the phases of a littoral surveillance mission and exploits the characteristics of Continuous Active Sonar (CAS) ...
Autonomous networked anti-submarine warfare research and development at CMRE
(CMRE, 2019/06)
CMRE has been evaluating the potential of autonomous networked ASW using underwater vehicles through a program of sonar signal processing, underwater communications, navigation and robotic behavior developments and at-sea ...
Real-time underwater positioning and navigation of an AUV in deep waters
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Due to the absence of GPS, navigation of autonomous vehicles underwater requires the integration of various measurements to provide the best location estimate. Usually in littoral waters, adequate navigational accuracy may ...
Cooperative robotic networks for underwater surveillance: an overview
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Underwater surveillance has traditionally been carried out by means of surface and undersea manned vessels equipped with advanced sensor systems. This approach is often costly and manpower intensive. Marine robotics is an ...
A market-based task allocation framework for autonomous underwater surveillance networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Realisation of underwater robotic surveillance networks raises several challenges for marine robotics. The underwater scenario is typically characterised by intermittent and unreliable communication. This makes it challenging ...
Distributed information fusion in multistatic sensor networks for underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Surveillance in antisubmarine warfare has traditionally been carried out by means of submarines or frigates with towed arrays. These techniques are manpower intensive. Alternative approaches have recently been suggested ...
Multi-domain robotics competitions: the CMRE experience from SAUC-E to the European Robotics League Emergency Robots
(CMRE, 2019/06)
This paper details the experience of the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) in the organisation of several robotics competitions since 2010. In particular, the Student Autonomous Underwater Vehicle ...
Adaptive filter of seabed clutter onboard the AUVs of an active multistatic sonar network
(CMRE, 2019/05)
This work aims at reducing the false alarm rate of a multistatic active sonar working in coastal, shallow waters. The sonar system is implemented through a heterogeneous manned-unmanned network including autonomous underwater ...
