9603043 Yuh This award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor Junku Yuh of the University of Hawaii in Manoa and Professor Tamaki Ura of the University of Tokyo in Japan. This project undertakes a study of a virtual collaborative world simulator for underwater robots using a multi-dimensional, synthetic environment. The major objective is to develop a virtual 3-dimensional, hybrid environment platform with a high-level control and information architecture. The major goals of the project are to l) enable remote sharing of underwater robotic resources; 2) enhance the remote monitoring and control of the robots from globally remote locations; and 3) enhance and stimulate the development of other areas such as underwater communication, sonar and acoustic sensors and underwater visualization. Successful planning of the robot operation requires integrated simulation of the actual robot with environmental data and operating conditions. The project brings together the efforts of two laboratories working on different aspects of autonomous under water vechicles: the American's have experience in developing a virtual reality platform and an underwater vehicle and the Japanese have developed the graphic platform, underwater vehicles and shallow water testing. Research and development of underwater robotic systems will be a low-cost key to better understanding marine and other environmental issues; to protect the earth's resources from pollution; and to efficiently utilize the vehicles for human welfare. The data gathered from the research project will provide information on the performance, effectiveness, interactiveness, and safety of an underwater vehicle and its environment. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. ***

小行星9603043 该奖项支持马诺阿夏威夷大学Junku Yuh教授和日本东京大学Tamaki Ura教授之间为期三年的合作研究项目。 本计画将研究一个多维、合成环境的水下机器人虚拟合作世界模拟器。 主要目标是开发一个虚拟的三维，混合环境平台与高层次的控制和信息架构。 该项目的主要目标是：（1）实现水下机器人资源的远程共享;（2）加强全球远程位置对机器人的远程监测和控制;（3）加强和刺激其他领域的发展，如水下通信、声纳和声学传感器和水下可视化。 机器人操作的成功规划需要实际机器人与环境数据和操作条件的集成仿真。 该项目汇集了两个实验室在水下自主车辆的不同方面的工作：美国在开发虚拟现实平台和水下车辆方面有经验，日本开发了图形平台，水下车辆和浅水测试。 水下机器人系统的研究和开发将是更好地了解海洋和其他环境问题的低成本关键;保护地球资源免受污染;并有效地利用车辆造福人类。 从研究项目中收集的数据将提供有关水下航行器及其环境的性能，有效性，交互性和安全性的信息。 通过交流思想和技术，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识，促进国际理解与合作。 ***
