\section*{MOOS-IvP Open Source Marine Autonomy Project}
%====================================================================

In 2006 MIT launched the open source marine autonomy project,
www.moos-ivp.org, dedicated to providing autonomy software,
documentation and training to the marine robotics community. This work
began in 2000 in the MIT Sea Grant AUV lab, and Department of Ocean
Engineering, and continues currently in the Department of Mechanical
Engineering. This work has been primarily funded by the Office of
Naval Research since 2000. Over the last twenty years it has also
matured through applied marine robotics efforts funded by DARPA, NOAA,
NSF, NASA and several industry partners including Battelle, Lockheed
Martin, General Dynamics, Thales UK, and Brunswick Corp. In 2012, with
a generous 5-year grant from Battelle, MIT developed a new graduate
course in Marine Autonomy, MIT 2.680, committed to the intersection of
autonomy, sensing and communications challenges in marine vehicle
applications of ocean environmental and DoD sensing.

The MOOS-IvP open-source C++ modules represent over 35 work-years of
development that have been fielded on dozens of platform types around
the world since its initial release in 2006. There are three themes
are key to the architecture: platform independence, module independence,
and nested capabilities. See \urlx{www.moos-ivp.org}.
