Robot Boats as a Mobile Aquatic Sensor Network
Workshop Paper, IPSN '09 Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (ESSA '09), April, 2009
Abstract
This paper describes the Multilevel Autonomy Robot Telesupervision Architecture (MARTA), an architecture for supervisory control of a heterogeneous fleet of networked unmanned autonomous aquatic surface vessels carrying a payload of environmental science sensors. This architecture allows a land-based human scientist to effectively supervise data gathering by multiple robotic assets that implement a web of widely dispersed mobile sensors for in-situ study of physical, chemical or biological processes in water or in the water/atmosphere interface
