EurofleetsPlus AUV Lab, 18-23 August 2019, MARUM – Robotics Lab workshop, Gothenburg University, Sweden.
The EurofleetsPlus AUV Lab, organized within the scope of the EurofleetsPlus (H2020 funded project) training program, addresses the logistical challenges and advantages with AUVs as research tools. The learn-by-doing training focuses on:
- Acoustic methods for biotope classification and GIS charting;
- Limitations and opportunities of AUVs as platforms;
- Importance of the AUV sensor suite.
The AUV Lab training, dedicated to European PhD and post-graduate students, provides a guide in using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles as a research tool, mission logistics, mission planning, scientific payload, data acquisition and post-processing of various types of sensors including hydroacoustic sensors. Theoretical course elements are applied practically upon execution of self-planned missions in the Skagerrak Sea with the Hugin AUV ‘Ran’.
