Development of Basic Autonomous Vehicle Behaviors

9222146布利德贝格自主水下机器人(AUV)技术已经成熟到为海洋科学家提供了数据收集问题的解决方案：智能自主移动平台。然而，为了充分发挥这种传感器平台的潜力，必须进行一些基础的AUV研究和开发。该项目旨在解决AUV研究人员目前经历的一个基本的“双重”需求。这种需求的一个方面可以表达为缺乏对智能移动自主所需行为的底层描述。这种需求的另一个方面是缺乏一个良好的实现环境，让候选人能够自主地执行这套行为。该项目的目标是开发该描述，并开发一套用于评估该描述的工具。因此，有两个目标需要追求：(1)回答“真正自主的水下移动代理所需的行为是什么？”以及(2)开发必要的工具来验证候选行为集。

9222146 Blidberg Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology has matured to the point where it offers ocean scientists a solution to the data collection problem: intelligent autonomous mobile platforms. In order to realize the full potential of such sensor platforms, however, some basic AUV research and development must be undertaken. This project is designed to address a fundamental "dual" need currently experienced by AUV researchers. One aspect of that need can be expressed as the lack of an underlying description of the behaviors necessary for intelligent mobile autonomy. The other aspect of this need is the lack of a good implementation environment for candidates to this set of behaviors for autonomy. The goal of this project is to develop that description, and to develop a set of tools with which to evaluate the description. There are, therefore, two objectives to pursue: (1) answer the question "what are the required behaviors for a truly autonomous underwater mobile agent?" and (2) develop the tools necessary to validate candidate behavior sets.
