EXPLORE
Welcome to the EXPLORE project team web page!

EXPLORE project focuses on issues related to the collaborative control of submarine and/or land-based vehicles. This includes studying and developing control strategies involving a variety of dynamic, cinematic and static constraints such as:
  • Robustness of control rules with respect to outside interference and modeling errors
  • Maintaining vehicle fleet geometry
  • Obstacle avoidance
  • Non-supervised control learning
  • Maintaining communication links between vehicles
  • Trajectory monitoring
  • Localisation and SLAMVision and perception (sweeping ultrasound) for control
  • Multi-vehicle perception

These strategies provide both local and global solutions, making it particularly necessary to study aspects concerning automatic task switching, as well as hardware and software  architecture related to these control rules in general.

In addition, our objectives include achieving higher decisionmaking autonomy for fleets of robots by integrating planning mechanisms, resource management, and task scheduling within each robot’s local controller. Lastly, we plan to verify properties in order to ensure a reasonable level of reliability for complex software and hardware architectures.
