Bluefin Robotics moves toward adaptive cooperation among teams of unmanned underwater vehicles

摘要

Bluefin Robotics Corp. in Quincy, Mass., is taking a step closer to developing a hybrid network of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) for autonomous adaptive collaboration for ocean sensing without human UUV operators. Bluefin experts in July demonstrated the company's MOOS-IvP autonomy system software on a Bluefin-9 UUV in Boston Harbor. The MOOS-IvP is a set of third-party, open-source C++ software modules that provide autonomy for robotic vehicles. Researchers demonstrated the machine autonomy software.
