Toward robust active semantic SLAM via Max-Mixtures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In a step towards the level of autonomy seen in humans, this work attempts to emulate a high level and low level approach to world representation and short term adaptation. Specifically, this work demonstrates an implementation ...
Beamforming performance enhancement by adaptive hyperbola array shape estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Analysis of U.S. Navy Ice Exercise 2016 (ICEX16) data, through a collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory, demonstrated that towed array curvature commonly exhibited heading differences up to 100° and never maintained ...
Automated decision making for operations within a Traffic Separation Scheme using MOOS-IvP
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis proposes a set of practical applications that utilizes the sharing of intent information and intended courses between marine vehicles operating in the vicinity of a Traffic Separation Scheme in order to reduce ...
Incorporating contact management and marine dynamics in decentralized auction bidding for autonomous surface vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This research studies techniques that can be applied to practical multi-task multi-vessel marine applications to manage mission planning for autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs). This thesis investigated the use of a ...
Electronics first : development of a basic electronics course of study for naval engineers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
MIT's 2N program produces naval engineers for the U.S. Navy. It provides its students with a solid foundation of critical engineering, design, construction, and naval architecture concepts. However, within that curriculum, ...
Creating a shipboard power simulation tool using electrical load behavior modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Trends in power system simulation that demand computationally-intensive, physics-based models may impede the acquisition of useful results for applications like condition-based maintenance [1], electrical plant load analysis ...
Design, construction, and analysis of a modular ship model and open-source autonomous surface vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Existing models used to explore hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, seakeeping, and maneuvering characteristics of ships are limited in that their characteristics are essentially static. The effects of various hull appendages, ...
The design, feasibility and cost analysis of sea barrier systems in Norfolk, Virginia and the comparative cost of shoreline barriers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Protecting a coastline from the damage of a storm surge, or tidal flooding associated with sea level rise, is a challenging and costly engineering endeavor. Low lying properties located directly on an ocean coastline are ...
