The Development of a Marine Internet of Things System Architecture for the Control of Heterogeneous Robotic Agents

Abstract

To create a platform for the Marine IoT for ensuring the interaction and digital navigation of heterogeneous marine robotic agents, it is necessary to combine into one network heterogeneous robotic agents, active and passive means of communication and illumination of the underwater and surface environment (marine communication buoys, underwater sonar stations, coastal connection posts). For their joint work, it is necessary to create a communication system unifying all elements of the platform, an integrated navigation and information management system for solving complex problems of navigation and motion control of robotic agents included in the platform to implement a joint mission. To do this, it is necessary to define the architecture of the platform to use a unified approach to data exchange.
