Recent Progress in the RAUVI Project: A Reconfigurable Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for Intervention

Starting in January 2009, the RAUVI project is a three years coordinated research action funded by the Spanish Ministry of Research and Innovation. This paper shows the research evolution during the first half of RAUVI’s live, bearing in mind that the long term objective is to design and develop an underwater autonomous robot able to perceive the environment and, by means of a specific hand-arm system, perform autonomously simple intervention tasks in shallow waters.This research was partly supported by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007- 2013 under grant agreement 248497 (TRIDENT Project), by Spanish Ministry of Research and Innovation DPI2008-06548- C03 (RAUVI Project), and by Fundació Caixa Castelló- Bancaixa P1-1B2009-50

IMOCA: a Model-Based Code Generator for the Development of Multi-Platform Marine Embedded Systems

International audienceProcess control systems embedded in disturbed environments are usually developed case by case for specific deployment platforms and their behaviours closely depend on the characteristics of the environ-ment. The obtained code is not portable and not reconfigurable. In order to help the software development of such applications, IMOCA offers ar-chitectural modelisation tools. The associated code generator allows to product adaptative and reconfigurable code for a simulator as well as embedded code for various platforms. This approach has been tested on NXT bricks, Arduino boards and Armadeus boards

Rational physical agent reasoning beyond logic

The paper addresses the problem of defining a theoretical physical agent framework that satisfies practical requirements of programmability by non-programmer engineers and at the same time permitting fast realtime operation of agents on digital computer networks. The objective of the new framework is to enable the satisfaction of performance requirements on autonomous vehicles and robots in space exploration, deep underwater exploration, defense reconnaissance, automated manufacturing and household automation
