Localization Approaches for Underwater Autonomy

Test an evolution of the controllers developed in MOCAV project at sea

To study mesoscale structures, such as gyres or eddies, that are formed in the south of the island and the impact they have on the primary production of phytoplankton.

To observe the Impacts of a long and narrow submarine Canyon on the slope circulation.

Provide University of Toulon scientists with access to the necessary state of the art infrastructures enabling them to realise experimentations in order to estimate the hydrodynamic parameters of an AUV

To develop a model to simulate the behaviour of an autonomous submarine glider when in operation

Develop and experimentally validate novel multi-AUV coverage algorithms that can handle currents and faults in the missions.

Test and implement a model-based control architecture for AUVs

The TNA will provide an experimental validation and demonstration of low cost, miniature acoustic transceivers providing a flexible multi-user positioning framework to support AUV and diver operations.

Obtain a 3D multibeam map of the Falconera cave

Benchmarking, in an operational setting, the use of teams of autonomous underwater vehicles to improve the oceanographic data collection while reducing the logistical overhead for the human element.

Detect and map seabed seepages in the Levant Bay, Vulcano. In the context of the Marine Geosciences and Marine Robotics Summer School.
