The Slocum Mission

A Mission Planning System for the AUV "SLOCUM Glider" for the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf

This paper presents a system for mission planning for an autonomous underwater vehicle in time-varying ocean currents. The mission planning system is designed for the AUV “SLOCUM Glider” to collect oceanographic data along the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf. The data will be used in conjunction with a numerical ocean model currently under development by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans C...

Slocum Gliders: Robust and ready

Assessing Automated and Human Path Planning for the Slocum Glider

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are a common tool used by oceanographers to study oceans. Most AUVs are operated by pilots who are able to interpret environmental information to make effective mission decisions; this function requires an understanding of the hardware and software of these complex systems. To enable oceanographers and pilots to more easily manage a fleet of gliders, new me...

Commentary Analysis of the Verses of the Prophetic Mission Reward
