During extended continuous operations, gaps can form in the operations area when vehicles leave to recharge their energy supplies.This project implements a novel token-passing algorithm to manage a refueling strategy for cooperating unmanned undersea vehicles.The algorithm, which limits the number of vehicles to refuel during any time segment, robustly accommodates intermittent communications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
