Use tail strap when: • Operating Trident in strong current such as openocean. • Using tether to raise or lowerTrident, such as from a dock or largeboat. Before dive: • It is recommendedt o update both the OpenROV App and Trident firmware before you head out to the water. To do this connect the controller to the Internet and launch the OpenROV App. Follow the prompt to update . .Please referto manual for more details aboutupdating software. • We recommend doing the first dive in clearwater s uch as a pool or lake. This is so you can get a feel for piloting while being able to seeT rident. • Unrolla couple of metersof tether before and as needed throughout the dive. • Make sure the Topside and tether aresafely secured. It is importantt o keep the Topside close to you and easily retrievable. • Even though the Topside is water resistant, it is not designed to be submerged under water for long periods of time. During dive: • Avoid areas with high WiFi trafficto ensure uninterrupted Topside signal quality. • Don't drive the vehicle through seaweed or other vegetation as it can get stuck in the propellers. · • Avoid rocks, branches, or other objects that can potentially damage the vehicle or pose a risk for entanglement. • Avoid animals, fish, or other sensitive living things like corals which can be easily damaged. • Only keep the amount of tether you need in the water to avoid entanglement. After dive: • Rinse Trident withfresh waterafter ev erydive. • Be sureto keep tether plugged in while rinsing. • After rinsing, remove tether and dry connector areawith cloth or towel..

    TOWARDS AUTONOMOUS LOCALIZATION OF AN UNDERWATER DRONE A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Computer Science by Nathan Sfard June 2018 c 2018 Nathan Sfard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Towards Autonomous Localization of an Underwater Drone AUTHOR: Nathan Sfard DATE SUBMITTED: June 2018 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Lynne Slivovsky, Ph.D. Professor of Computer Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: John Seng, Ph.D. Professor of Computer Science COMMITTEE MEMBER: Xiao-Hua Yu, Ph.D. Professor of Electrical Engineering iii ABSTRACT Towards Autonomous Localization of an Underwater Drone Nathan Sfard Autonomous vehicle navigation is a complex and challenging task. Land and aerial vehicles often use highly accurate GPS sensors to localize themselves in their envi- ronments. These sensors are ineffective in underwater environments due to signal attenuation. Autonomous underwater vehicles utilize one or more of the following approaches for successful localization and navigation: inertial/dead-reckoning, acous- tic signals, and geophysical data. This thesis examines autonomous localization in a simulated environment for an OpenROV Underwater Drone using a Kalman Fil- ter. This filter performs state estimation for a dead reckoning system exhibiting an additive error in location measurements. We evaluate the accuracy of this Kalman Filter by analyzing the effect each parameter has on accuracy, then choosing the best combination of parameter values to assess the overall accuracy of the Kalman Filter. We find that the two parameters with the greatest effects on the system are the con- stant acceleration and the measurement uncertainty of the system.

Using a set of tremely complex undertakings for underwater robots, which intuitive and meaningful hand gestures, we develop a syntacti- cally simple framework that is computationally more efficient require close human supervision. Since Wi-Fi or radio (i.e., than a complex, grammar-based approach. In the proposed electromagnetic) communication is not available or severely framework, a convolutional neural network is trained to provide degraded underwater [7], such methods cannot be used accurate hand gesture recognition; subsequently, a finite-state to instruct an AUV to dynamically reconfigure command machine-based deterministic model performs efficient gesture- parameters. The current task thus needs to be interrupted, to-instruction mapping and further improves robustness of the interaction scheme. The key aspect of this framework is and the robot needs to be brought to the surface in order that it can be easily adopted by divers for communicating to reconfigure its parameters. This is inconvenient and often simple instructions to underwater robots without using artificial expensive in terms of time and physical resources. Therefore, tags such as fiducial markers or requiring memorization of a triggering parameter changes based on human input while the potentially complex set of language rules. Extensive experiments robot is underwater, without requiring a trip to the surface, are performed both on field-trial data and through simulation, which demonstrate the robustness, efficiency, and portability of is a simpler and more efficient alternative approach.

Received in revised form: August 31th, 2015. Accepted: September 9th, 2015 Abstract This paper reports on the design of an open source-based control platform for the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Visor3. The vehicle’s original closed source-based control platform is first described. Due to the limitations of the previous infrastructure, modularity and flexibility are identified as the main guidelines for the proposed design. This new design includes hardware, firmware, software, and control architectures. Open-source hardware and software platforms are used for the development of the new system’s architecture, with support from the literature and the extensive experience acquired with the development of robotic exploration systems. This modular approach results in several frameworks that facilitate the functional expansion of the whole solution, the simplification of fault diagnosis and repair processes, and the reduction of development time, to mention a few. Keywords: open-source hardware; ROV control platforms; underwater exploration.

Support for diverse learners and parent/family engagement were an integral part of trainings and workshops. Focus areas included, but were not limited to: • Ongoing in-depth training and exposure to the Nevada Academic Content Standards (NVACS) in mathematics content that included a year-long math certificate program serving K-8 teachers to increase their content knowledge and teaching competencies in math. • Literacy and English trainings based on the Nevada Academic Content Standards (NVACS) for PreK-12-based Literacy development and reading strategies with particular focus on writing using the methods of Lucy Calkins and Being a Writer. • Collaboration between NWRPDP facilitators and the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) to support the revision of Nevada Academic Content Standards (NVACS) in social studies. Facilitators developed and completed a nine-month professional learning cohort with novice social studies teachers resulting in significant gains in classroom effectiveness, management, and pedagogy. • Professional learning workshops and activities that focused on the incorporation of NVACS-Science and STEM Standards (based on the Next Generation Science Standards [NGSS]) —made possible through the Great Teaching and Leading Fund grant. • STEM activity teacher trainings on aerial and underwater vehicles through collaborations with university and regional experts—made possible from the College and Career Ready (CCR) grant.

  • Annual-Report-2014-2015-Double
    The 2014-2015 fiscal year was a time of great progress for the Environmental Science Center. One of our most significant accomplishments was creating a year-round calendar of programs at our new learning center at Seahurst Park. ESC now offers a wide variety of programs for all ages at one location within 176 acres of forested land and over ¾ mile of shoreline. It is the perfect location for developing a love of nature, creating new environmental stewards, and advanc- ing STEM skills within the community. So many individuals were a part of the vision of creating ESC’s learning center and we are proud to have that vision be a reality today! Dr. Tara Luckie Executive Director Other major successes this year include: Aligning our Beach Heroes and Salmon Heroes curriculum to the Next Generation Science Standards and becoming a leader in modeling these standards for teachers. Working with 9 different after school sites to give low-income youth access to hands-on science activities in their own apartment complex or school. Starting an OpenROV high school program where students had the ESC naturalist, Barb Bruell, leading a group of Beach Heroes students on an exploration of Seahurst Beach opportunity to build an underwater robot and gain valuable career skills.
