Breaking the Surface 2014
Design of Communication and Control for Swarms of Aquatic Surface Drones
Motivation
• Maritime missions are expensive to
carry out (manned vehicles with
large operational crews)
!
!
!
• Unmanned vehicles have the
potential to lower such costs, but
are still reasonably expensive
(X0.000€), limiting their use to one
or a low number of vehicles
Breaking the Surface 2014
Design of Communication and Control for Swarms of Aquatic Surface Drones
Motivation
• Alternative: swarms of simple, inexpensive robots
!
• Potential missions: environmental monitoring, sea life localization, sea
border patrolling, distributed sensing, etc…
!
• Benefits: robustness, fault tolerance, scalability, availability
Breaking the Surface 2014
Design of Communication and Control for Swarms of Aquatic Surface Drones
Goals
• Develop a scalable, heterogeneous, and fault-tolerant ad-hoc network
architecture for swarms of aquatic drones (HANCAD project)
!
• Explore our novel control synthesis approach in a variety of real-world
maritime missions (CORATAM project)
!
• Release all software and hardware as open-source
!
• Proof-of-concept experiments with up to 25 robots until Summer 2015

Control
• Problem: control for swarms of robots is difficult to manually derive
!
• Potential solution: hybrid approach [1]:
• Behavior primitives are artificial neural networks synthesized using
evolutionary algorithms (scalable, adaptable, robust, automatic)
• Behavior arbitrators are simple finite state-machines that decide
when each primitive should be executed (simple, easy to change
for different missions)
