Title:

Project MANTA RAY: Unpiloted Underwater Vehicle with Support from Autonomous Surface Vehicle Network

Team MANTA RAY is an interdisciplinary project dedicated to creating, maintaining, and expanding a network of marine robots for seafloor mapping and underwater perception. The network began as just the Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) and Unpiloted Underwater Vehicle (UUV) but has expanded to include a prototype of the ASV, known as TUPPS, and two kinds of remotely operated vehicles, known as GUPPS and KRILL. With these systems, students work to improve communication between vehicles, develop autonomous behaviors and algorithms, and upgrade existing mechanical systems to improve precision and performance.​ The ASV mission for this year was to enact a deployment sequence to launch a UUV from the platform, perform mission functions autonomously, and to follow an autonomous path determined by pre-determined waypoints.
