Stochastic Guidance of Buoyancy Controlled Vehicles under Ice Shelves using Ocean Currents

IROS 2021poster

We propose a novel technique for guidance of buoyancy-controlled vehicles in uncertain under-ice ocean flows. In-situ melt rate measurements collected at the grounding zone of Antarctic ice shelves, where the ice shelf meets the underlying bedrock, are essential to constrain models of future sea lev…

Demonstration of Autonomous Nested Search for Local Maxima Using an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

ICRA 2020poster

Ocean Worlds represent one of the best chances for extra-terrestrial life in our solar system. A new mission concept must be developed to explore these oceans. This mission would require traversing the 10s of km thick icy shell and releasing a submersible into the ocean below. During the transit of…
