MA: Development and simulation of a dive controller for a drifting bouy in the context of the AMuSeD system
Entwicklung und Simulation eines Tauchcontrollers für eine Treibboje im Kontext des AMuSeD-Systems
Development and simulation of a dive controller for a drifting bouy in the context of the AMuSeD system
Task Description
Drifters are essential tools for mapping ocean currents and gathering real-time data. At the Institute of Mechatronics in Mechanics (iMEK)
Our current focus is on developing a diving drifter for shelf seas. The aim is to explore various water layers and drift just above the sea floor for comprehensive data collection.
Drifters are a commonly used tool for tracking ocean currents and collecting in-situ data for monitoring and modelling purpose. Research conducted at iMEK aims to enhance these sensor nodes to improve their usability and performance to the scientific community.
Ongoing development focuses on creating a diving drifter for shelf sea, enabling probing of different water layers and even drifting meters above the sea floor. Apart from hovering at a given depth, adding dive patterns to switch between layers of different flow rate and the wind influenced upper layer a directed movement is possible on a larger time scale.
A dive controller is needed to make decisions on when to switch between the different layers of the shelf sea to get to a desired location by drifting and optional resting on the sea floor.
Your task is to develop such a dive controller in MATLAB Simulink. The following steps will be covered by yourself:
Develop algorithms that enable the drifter to navigate from any feasible starting point to any other point in the North Sea.
Implement dynamic path planning based on sensor input, taking into account the possibility of erroneous data from IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and GPS.
Utilize the provided simulation environment featuring a digital twin of the drifter in the North Sea to validate your developed solutions.
Requirements
Proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink.
Ability to work independently
Interest in practical applications of simulation models.
