Talk-23: Remote Control and Monitoring of MOOS Vehicles through Cellular Modems
Paul Sammut, Alexander Sedunov, Mikhail Tsionskiy and Dr. John Dzielski, Stevens Institute of Technology
Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT) operates a fleet of UUVs developed by iRobot that utilize the MOOS Architecture in the Hudson River and other near-shore operating areas. Due to the excellent cellular coverage in the Lower Hudson River - New York Harbor Area and the other areas of interest, cellular modems have been chosen as a primary long distance communications method. Operating in the busy Hudson River where currents can reach 4 knots requires as much monitoring and control of the vehicles as possible. This presentation will focus on the implementation of remote control and monitoring via cellular modem, along with the creation of a LabVIEWTM Internet Interface that handles mapping of UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) position and can create and upload missions to MOOS Platform vehicles that are already underway. This system has been successfully tested on vehicles deployed in the Hudson River, and has allowed SIT to remotely upload new missions to already underway vehicles to better respond to their dynamic environment.
