Human/robot interface and mission management in MAUVE, a multi-purpose autonomous underwater vehicle

Abstract

The overall objective of the MAUVE project is to develop and test a mobile and autonomous instrumented underwater vehicle, dedicated to multipurpose survey. One of the main points of this project is the implementation of the navigation and mission management systems. This paper describes the principal results achieved so far in the design of human/autonomous underwater vehicle interactions in the specification phase of the robot mission.
