An Overview of MOOS-IvP and a Users Guide to the IvP Helm - Release 4.2.1
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2011-08)
This document describes the IvP Helm - an Open Source behavior-based autonomy application for unmanned vehicles. IvP is short for interval programming - a technique for representing and solving multi-objective optimizations ...
Optimization of Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Charging and Performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2014-09)
The goal of this project is to efficiently and safely charge a 5kWh battery pack in 15 minutes. Since the project is still in progress, this report describes experiments on a 56Wh battery. Experiments were performed to ...
Field Demonstration of a Real-time Non-intrusive Monitoring System for Condition-based Maintenance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
The performance of important electrical loads on mission critical systems like warships or off-shore platforms is often tracked by dedicated monitoring equipment. Individual monitoring of each load is expensive and risky. ...
Design and Performance of Odyssey IV: A Deep Ocean Hover-Capable AUV
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
The Odyssey IV class AUV was designed to fill the evolving needs of research and industry for a deep rated (6000 meter) vehicle, which is capable of both efficient cruising and precise hovering. This AUV is powerful enough ...
Gulf of Maine Strategic Regional Ocean Science Plan
