Enhancing the Functionality of the Groups of Autonomous Underwater Robots

Abstract

Increasing the efficiency of underwater operations with the help of automatic machines can be achieved by using a robotic complex in a special configuration -with a functional division into three interacting parts: a remote control panel with an operator; a basic underwater walking platform, connected by a cable with the control panel for information and energy supply; a group of autonomous robots with increased maneuverability, having information communication lines with the base station via a contactless channel. Within the framework of this concept, the paper considers and solves the main problems of creating information-control systems for such robotic systems, including the necessary communication tools. One of the key solved problems was constructing the proper sensor-control real-time software system. The paper was partially supported by RFBR, projects 16-

Control Algorithms for Service and Industrial Transport Robots

“…The main results of the project "Intelligent robotronics" were tested and implemented in practice, also were published during last 3 years in 38 articles (14 Scopus), 2 patents and one Russian State Standard on robots and robotic devices (methods of programming and interacting with operators). Some of the references are below [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…This experience helped us also to develop on-board electronics for the Amur-307 service robot, which is part of the Amur complex for telemedical and another applications. Our main works are listed in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Intelligent Robotronics – Methodology for Solving Logical Problems of Service Robots

“…Since each of these approaches (methods) can be applied generally speaking independently, in IGEC possible holistic, in General, four-dimensional representation of the expert knowledge of the tasks and methods of research. This view significantly increases the reliability of problems solving in intelligent robotics (see Figure 2 and [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]), the degree of detail and accuracy of the models, and provides tools for formalizing methodological ("inter-traditional") contradictions and ways to eliminate them.…”
