system design

This project is focused on achieving persistent autonomy that advances the ability of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to perform long-term missions. The approach includes efficient mission planning, energy routing scheduling, adaptable docking system, and low-infrastructure platforms. The goal is to provide practical solutions by lowering deployment and operating costs, while also increasing efficiency, endurance and persistence.

Abstract:

Wireless sensor-actuator networks (WSAN) are systems consisting of numerous sensing and actuation devices that interact with the environment and coordinate their activities over a wireless communication network. WSANs represent an important class of cyber-physical system (CPS) found in our national civil infrastructure. This project addresses the issue of resilience in WSANs.
