Abstract

Technologies for oceans engineering are being based in autonomous solutions (mainly adaptation capabilities) able to tackle more complex maritime missions. This paper presents how an Intelligent Vehicle Control Architecture (IVCA) for marine robots deals with fault-tolerant capabilities in order to build a robust approach. The IVCA moves away from fixed mission plans and very basic diagnostics schemes. It is able to handle unexpected faults at vehicle, sensor and sensor processing levels based on either hardware failure or environmental changes. This paper provides details of techniques of onboard diagnosis and mitigation of faults. The operation context, the use cases, and experimental results from a particular scenario are presented. Future research work is also presented.
