– Motivations – Needs – Missions Rob
Rationale for an Odyssey IV AUV Class • National Research Council “Future Needs in Deep Submergence Science”, 2004 • US $25M to replace Alvin and upgrade ROV fleet Goal: Put humans deeper to leverage in-situ decision-making No money for AUVs SG to promote AUV involvement with a true deep-water platform that is cheap and can sample disparate locales quickly and return high resolution data products for site characterization prior to HOV deployment • Benthic Community Genomic Relationships (WHOI “Oceanus” 2004) • WHOI sponsored research identifies species Goal: Understand origin of species by sequencing DNA An AUV with large payload capacity can carry novel sensors to collect samples • Cold Water Coral Reefs • Chemosynthetic life-cycle is poorly understood Goal: Improve database of knowledge about this cycle and ecological linkages Hover capable AUV can investigate areas where feature relative navigation is desirable option to probe deep water coral Rob
Odyssey IV Concept Focus Areas • A low-cost, reconfigurable, 3000m “truck” • Short missions – choose many quick, surface-deployed sampling missions rather than long surveys • Restricted data products, e.g., a single geo-referenced touch-down location, a small photographic survey, a single non-specific sample of the benthic surface, etc. • Focus on deployment of multiple vehicles without requiring continuous navigation of each vehicle.

0 1 2 3 4 Missions and Relative Mission Difficulty Power consumption not including thrusters One geo-referenced point (GRP) at seabed <50 W (pinger, MEH and core sensors) Visual survey relative to initial GRP ~250 W (plus camera/lights) Go to a given GRP and do visual survey ~300 W (plus DVL) … and get any sample … and get a targeted sample ~800 W (plus sampling device) Rob
Power consumption (including thrusters) ConOps ~84 Wh • Get to depth quickly • V = sqrt( 2*(W – B ) / CD ) ~ 3.0 m/s • requires 30kg dropweight • 3km 16.67min (@ 60deg pitch, 34min) • Survey small area • O( 200m X 200m X 10m spacing) @ 1m/s • coverage overlap: 50% • 73.3min • Rise to surface • Powered Ascent @ 1.5 m/s • 3km 33.33min • Recover from water • Transit to vehicle, hoist onto deck • 30min • Offload Data • 2200 images @ 3MB/img ~ 6.6GB data @ 100 Mbps • 10.26min • Total Time: ~3 hrs (163.56min - 180.56min) • Transit to new locale ~430 Wh ~100 Wh ~25 Wh ~9 Wh Total ~650Wh
Needs – Sum Up • Good Maneuverability (4 DOF) • Stability (pitch and roll) • Quick inspection ~2 hour mission time • Fast dive and ascent streamlined body • Maximize bottom time dive time O(30 minutes) • Minimize turn around time ~1 hour on deck • Low cost ~$100,000 • Big Payload 50 kg reserve buoyancy Rob

Dynamics Vic
Dynamics – Vectored Thrust Control Problem (1) • The essential system is described by Mx’’(t) = F(t) cos q(t) Mz’’(t) = F(t) sin q(t) where x(t) is surge position z(t) is heave position F(t) is thrust level q(t) is pitch of the thruster • Pitch is subject to velocity and acceleration limits, and may be limited to 360 degrees of rotation • Thrust is subject to bandwidth limits Vic
Dynamics – Vectored Thrust Control Problem (2) • In a steady disturbance, such as forward flight or a buoyancy force, the control inputs can be effectively linearized, giving excellent vectored thrust control • When pure hovering is needed, the system cannot be stabilized to zero, except in the limiting case of zero closed-loop bandwidth. • This is an extremely active area of research in the dynamic positioning community, usually with multiple thrusters.

Potential difficulties with nonlinear approaches: unexpected behavior, unrealistic demands on physical system, instability, etc. Very few tools available for design; analysis is by simulation. Pursue a linear approach to hovering; this requires regularization of pitch angle - i.e. regular, synchronized motion. One approach: rotate the pitch servo at constant rate (q). This partitions thrust into four quadrants per turn - two used for heave DOF and two for surge DOF. T T/4 T/2 3T/4 Because thrust in each DOF is available on a regular time base, classical discrete-time control principles can be used; the two DOF are actuated alternately. The available positioning bandwidth is closely related to q and to the time scales of thrust production during a rapid turn. Linear approach allows systematic design.
