Short Abstract:

This intensive one-week course provides a comprehensive introduction to maritime autonomy using the MOOS-IvP software framework, based on MIT’s established 2.680 course curriculum. Participants will learn the fundamental principles of autonomous marine vehicle control, behavior-based autonomy architectures, and practical implementation of multi-objective optimization for marine robotics. The course is hands-on with coding and simulation exercises using the open-source MOOS-IvP middleware.

Course Contents in brief:

1. Introduction to Maritime Autonomy and MOOS-IvP architecture.
2. MOOS middleware and mission configuration.
3. Development of a MOOS application.
4. IvP Helm and Behavior-based control systems
5. Development of a simple IvP behavior.
6. Multi-vehicle coordination and communication
