Research abstract
Miser is an uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) mission optimizer that re-orders tasks to accomplish as much as possible given the stored energy. Â It makes a decision on which task to attempt next at the end of each task, using the actual energy and time cost of the completed task to inform its next decision. Miser focuses on accomplishing as much as possible per sortie without leaving the UUV stranded.
