Talk-28: iRobot Secondary Controller MOOS Interface

Mark Morris, iRobot

A MOOS secondary controller interface is presented which facilitates the integration of payloads and behaviors with iRobot research AUVs. iRobot has developed a Helm module that is focused on simplicity of control by a payload. Using iRobot's secondary controller interface to send behavior requests to our Helm, our partners have demonstrated various capabilities on several low-cost vehicle designs running MOOS.

Results from these demonstrations are presented along with the secondary controller messages that comprise the interface. Using iRobot's Matlab vehicle motion simulator "Fishtank", a vehicle is shown responding to these secondary controller commands.
