Abstract:This paper presents a study where the potential of achieving autonomous net cleaning operations in commercial net pens is demonstrated through numerical simulations. Specifically, we investigated solutions for coping with the challenges that occur when obstacles appear in the path of an autonomous cleaning robot. Simulations were conducted using a net-crawling robot specifically designed for net cleaning purposes. The robot model was equipped with a modified version of the Elastic Band Method (EBM) enabling it… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
