This work introduces a novel decentralized algorithm and control law for stable linear convoying using a layered control approach. This algorithm was implemented in MOOS-IvP, using an abstraction layer that models a virtual system decoupled from the system’s actual dynamics. This makes the algorithm…
We present the Perseus autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) - an A-sized aaA-size stands for the standard sonobuoy [2] form factor, with a maximum diameter of 124 mm and a length of around 0.9 m, ensuring the ability to launch from standard sonobuoy launchers onboard a wide array of fixed wing and ro…
Duckiepond is an education and research development environment that includes software systems, educational materials, and of a fleet of autonomous surface vehicles Duckieboat. Duckieboats are designed to be easily reproducible with parts from a 3D printer and other commercially available parts, wit…
Duckietown is an open, inexpensive and flexible platform for autonomy education and research. The platform comprises small autonomous vehicles (“Duckiebots”) built from off-the-shelf components, and cities (“Duckietowns”) complete with roads, signage, traffic lights, obstacles, and citizens (duckies…
