Talk-22: Hunter-Prey: an Open-Source Adversarial Competition to Promote Research in Cooperative Marine Autonomy
LT Arthur Anderson, Alon Yaari, Michael Benjamin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Hunter-Prey is a research effort at the Laboratory for Autonomous Marine Sensing Systems in the MIT Center for Ocean Engineering, funded by Battelle. The project examines a scenario in which two or more surface vehicles attempt to cooperatively track an evading underwater target using range-only sensors, and ultimately maneuver into position for a "kill" using a simulated depth charge. Submissions for this competition will use the MOOS-IvP architecture for all of the vehicles and to allow them to compete against one another, first in a simulated environment, and then on the Charles River. The goal of this project is to offer improved algorithms and techniques for autonomous cooperation between vehicles which are capable of adapting to their sensed environment.
