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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
