Talk-20: Autonomous Adaptive Environmental Feature Tracking on Board AUVs: Tracking the Thermocline

Stephanie Petillo, MIT (LAMSS)

This talk addresses the challenge of autonomously and adaptively tracking features of the underwater environment using AUVs running the MOOS-IvP autonomy software. This problem is addressed from concept to implementation in the field on various AUV platforms, developing specifically the example of thermocline tracking. Some recent research involving methods for feature tracking on board multiple AUVs operating simultaneously and collaboratively to detect an underwater feature will also be discussed briefly.
