From Concept to Field Tests: Accelerated Development of Multi-AUV Missions Using a High-Fidelity Faster-than-Real-Time Simulator
We designed and validated a novel simulator for efficient development of
multi-robot marine missions. To accelerate development of cooperative
behaviors, the simulator models the robots' operating conditions with
moderately high fidelity and runs significantly faster than real time,
including acoustic communications, dynamic environmental data, and
high-resolution bathymetry in large worlds. The simulator's ability to exceed a
real-time factor (RTF) of 100 has been stress-tested with a robust continuous
integration suite and was used to develop a multi-robot field experiment
