MOOS-DAWG'17 Demo Day:
Battelle Marine Autonomy Bay at the MIT Sailing Pavilion
8:30am-11:30am August 2nd 2017(second day of the workshop).
Food (Bertuccis) served at 11am (For workshop registrants).

The morning of Day 2 of the workshop we invite workshop attendees to the Battelle Autonomy Lab at the MIT Sailing Pavilion, about a 5 minute walk from the Stata Center where the main workshop talks are held.

The Demo Day is presented in the "workshop spirit", where work ranging from in-progress to more advanced is encouraged. Expect the unexpected.


Participants 2017 Demo Day

Datamaran, Autonomous Marine Systems: The Datamaran is a sail powered autonomous catamaran being used in the the defense and energy industries. Design motivations and evolutions will be discussed. Recent results from endurance testing, various payload integrations, and value engineering will be presented along with a live demo.

Riptide UUV: The Riptide UUV is a new, highly flexible, open source autonomous undersea vehicle that provides users a state-of-the-art, low cost development solution ideally suited for developers of autonomy and behaviors, power systems, subsea sensors, and new payloads. The micro-UUV features open hardware and software interfaces to provide users a reliable and robust platform to advance technology development. The vehicle design is optimized for high efficiency with the best hydrodynamic signature in its class.

BIOSwimmer UUV: The Boston Engineering BIOSwimmer(tm) strengthens the capability to search, inspect, and operate in harsh and constricted underwater areas – including areas inaccessible by other vehicles. The UUV employs a variety of payloads for mission flexibility and combines speed, maneuverability, and endurance. For more information, please visit:

The SeaMachines USV: Sea Machines Robotics is a startup in East Boston building Autonomous and Remote Control systems for the work grade vessels. These systems can be outfitted to any vessel, like standard auto-pilot, and enables it to be remotely controlled or be autonomously deployed for a mission. TALOS, the autonomy system, uses MOOS-IvP and other components to sail and dynamically adapt to the environment surrounding it. For the MOOS-DAWG 2017 demo-day, Sea Machines is pleased to demonstrate the latest of its capabilities implemented in a very short time thanks to the MOOS-IvP suite of software.

WHOI Bluefin SandSharks with acoustics and autonomy payloads: Acoustics and autonomy payloads running MOOS-IvP have been integrated with multiple SandShark UUVs for multi-UUV navigation and sensing experiments.  Based on a design developed at MIT, the payloads include a one-way-travel-time (OWTT) iUSBL system that use a time-synchronized beacon for relative or absolute navigation, and additional hydrophones for passive or active acoustic sensing.  Data is processed on-board on a raspberry pi computer for adaptive sensing.  Research topics using these vehicles include UUV formation autonomy, multi-vehicle sensing/mapping, and noise source detection/localization.

The Electric MOKAI: The MOKAI platform is a commercially available motorized kayak. It is currently used as a human-operated platform in the DARPA/ONR funded Aquaticus project. It can also be converted into an unmanned platform. The Electric MOKAI project is a prototype currently under development at MIT by Joseph Curcio to replace the gas engine with an all-electric motor. This prototype will be demonstrated.

The WHOI JetYakI: is an autonomous surface vehicle that is able to map and measure water that’s too shallow or turbulent for underwater vehicles.The idea began with ocean engineers Hanumant Singh and Peter Traykovski in the Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department at WHOI. They developed a prototype jetyak that was used to measure freshwater flow at the front of calving glaciers in Greenland in July 2013.

The Iver3 AUV: is the latest affordable AUV platform released by L3 OceanServer. This autonomous system benefits from 14 years of experience in building reliable systems with well over 250 AUVs shipped. The OceanServer Remote Helm on the Iver3 AUV provides a fully functional and open system where the users can install their hardware and make software extensions to the vehicle without the requirement of a custom design.

Clearpath Heron USVs with MIT Payload Autonomy: The Heron USV is a 1-2 person portable vehicle made by Clearpath Robotics. This vehicle is used at MIT for research on COLREGS collision avoidance, and in the DARPA/ONR funded human robot competition called Aquaticus. It is also the primary teaching platform for new students. The MIT Herons are a variant of the standard-issued platform, with autonomy run from a separate payload computer. These variants and the payload autonomy will be demonstrated.

The MIT Rex IV USV: The REx IV is an unmanned surface vessel based on the 16-foot WAM-V and running the MOOS-IvP autonomy suite of software. The platform is modular, allowing a variety of sensors to be connected for gathering data from atmospheric and sea surface sensors. A marine winch allows subsea sensors or remotely-operated vehicles to be deployed to depth. Data and control of an ROV can be sent via live feed to researchers and classrooms. This platform won the 2014 RobotX competition.
