AI System Diagram
This diagram shows the various AI systems we would like to implement.
We are very likely to need to implement the Computer Vision system. This is written before full mission spec, but it is very likely to have a task involving computer vision as it was used last year and posed a large challenge.
The Auto-Depth system is a great tool for implementing as it lets us surface and control depth for precise tasks. It can be implemented using pressure sensor data for accurate depth measurement.
The Auto-Return system is an AI that tracks the ROV's position in 3D space using the IMU data. This allows the ROV to return to the surface at our station easily.
The Momentum Compensation system uses a combination of IMU and computer vision information to slow down the ROV when the ROV has been moving at full speed.
The Docking system is for placing objects using computer vision. This tool can be used for several prospective tasks including placing the micro-ROV in the tube and attaching the micro-ROV back to the main ROV.
