Dynamic Autonomous Surface Vehicle Control and Applications in Environmental Monitoring
Nare Karapetyan, Jason Moulton, Ioannis Rekleitis
This paper addresses the problem of robotic operations in the presence of adversarial forces. We presents a complete framework for survey operations: waypoint generation,modelling…
Dynamic Autonomous Surface Vehicle Controls Under Changing Environmental Forces
Jason Moulton, Nare Karapetyan, Michail Kalaitzakis +3
The ability to navigate, search, and monitor dynamic marine environments such as ports, deltas, tributaries, and rivers presents several challenges to both human operated and auton…
Riverine Coverage with an Autonomous Surface Vehicle over Known Environments
Nare Karapetyan, Adam Braude, Jason Moulton +4
Environmental monitoring and surveying operations on rivers currently are performed primarily with manually-operated boats. In this domain, autonomous coverage of areas is of vital…
Meander Based River Coverage by an Autonomous Surface Vehicle
Nare Karapetyan, Jason Moulton, Ioannis Rekleitis
Autonomous coverage has tremendous importance for environmental surveying and exploration tasks performed on rivers both in terms of efficiency and data collection quality. Most su…
External Force Field Modeling for Autonomous Surface Vehicles
Jason Moulton, Nare Karapetyan, Alberto Quattrini Li +1
Operating in the presence of strong adverse forces is a particularly challenging problem in field robotics. In most robotic operations where the robot is not firmly grounded, such…
An Autonomous Surface Vehicle for Long Term Operations
Jason Moulton, Nare Karapetyan, Sharon Bukhsbaum +5
Environmental monitoring of marine environments presents several challenges: the harshness of the environment, the often remote location, and most importantly, the vast area it cov…
