Research abstract
The Piranha USV brings together intelligent vehicle technology with advanced mission planning and autonomous operation capabilities. Through the use of collaborative behaviors, several USVs will operate as a group to maintain a robust communications and sensor network. The design of the Piranha USV will be based on iRobot's Intelligent Vehicles Robotics Kit and will leverage iRobot's extensive experience in building unmanned systems from manned vehicles.
