ICTINEUAUV wins the First SAUC-E competition

A pioneer team of students of the University of Girona decided to design and develop an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) called ICTINEU-AUV to face the Student Autonomous Underwater Challenge-Europe (SAUC-E). The prototype has evolved from the initial computer aided design (CAD) model to become an operative AUV in the short period of seven months. The open frame and modular design principles together with the compatibility with other robots previously developed at the lab have provided the main design philosophy. Hence, at the robot's core, two networked computers give access to a wide set of sensors and actuators. The Gentoo/Linux distribution was chosen as the onboard operating system. A software architecture based on a set of distributed objects with soft real time capabilities was developed and a hybrid control architecture including mission control, a behavioural layer and a robust map-based localization algorithm made ICTINEU-AUV the winning entry

Estudi del model dinàmic d’un robot submarí d’intervenció (IAUV) composat per un vehicle i un braç manipulador

Fins a la data d’avui, el grup VICOROB de la Universitat de Girona ha desenvolupat diversos vehicles autònoms (GARBÍ, URIS i ICTINEU). El projecte que comença aquest any té com objectiu desenvolupar un nou vehicle submarí autònom amb capacitat d’intervenció (I-AUV) gràcies a un braç manipulador. Aquest projecte final de carrera té com objectiu desenvolupar en entorn MATLAB un simulador d’un I-AUV, format per un AUV i un braç manipulador de n graus de llibertat per tal d’avaluar les reaccions dels moviments del braç, amb càrrega i sense, sobre el robot, i viceversa

Predictive motion control of a mirosot mobile robot

This paper discusses predictive motion control of a MiRoSoT robot. The dynamic model of the robot is deduced by taking into account the whole process - robot, vision, control and transmission systems. Based on the obtained dynamic model, an integrated predictive control algorithm is proposed to position precisely with either stationary or moving obstacle avoidance. This objective is achieved automatically by introducing distant constraints into the open-loop optimization of control inputs. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of such control strategy for the deduced dynamic model

Team Working and Profiling Handout

Exercise and Handout for use in conjunction with Lecture on team working and profiling. Refers to Belbin model of team development. If you have missed the class, you should work through the activity, ideally find some other students to work with. It consists of a number of parts in addition to a self-evaluation checklist 1) A personal reflection activity (for use as the class settles) 2) A brief group activity to use during the lecture 3) A follow up activity, to complete an evaluation online from the belbin website 4) A follow up activity to work through the videos which have been produced by the LearnHigher Project
