IMPLEMENTATION OF INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS IN UNMANNED VEHICLES

 Trabajo realizado:

The environmental monitorization of harbor areas is of key importance. Therefore, the operations that take place on ports must assure that it doesn´t affect the ecosystem or the proximate populations.

Currently, the control of the quality of the water and air is only done in a few specific points where there are fixed meters installed (buoy or weather stations). This limits the environmental control in some important areas, as the exterior anchoring area outside the ports.

The use of unmanned vehicles offers an economic and efficient solution. Also, it is capable of navigating up to any close point to the shore to take measures and communicate them in real time. In the same way, these autonomous vehicles can gather samples to analyze in the laboratory when they finish their mission.

The project, that counts with European financing through FEDER, is based on the unmanned vehicles that can navigate autonomously and safely to points of interest, gather data on the quality of the air and of the water and send it, with the live streaming, to the control center. Also, we have developed and tested a submarine ship unmanned equipped with sensors with which it can measure the different levels of depth and examine, using high quality cameras, the submarine part of numerous harbor infrastructures and vessels of ships. We also have developed an autonomous ship of long autonomy that gathers measurements and samples from different points of the port.

Finally, it is important to point out that, together to the autonomous vehicles, we have developed and implemented the informatic platform capable of dealing and sending to the informatic systems from the port, all the information gathered.
