The increasing demand for underwater robotic intervention systems around the world in several application domains requires more versatile and inexpensive systems. By using a wireless communication system, supervised semi-autonomous robots have freedom of movement and, at the same time, allows the operator to get camera feedback and supervise the intervention. Moreover, the limited and varying bandwidth of underwater radio frequency (RF) and underwater acoustic modem channels is a major obstacle. This paper proposes the use of progressive (embedded) image compression and region of interest (ROI) for the design of an underwater image sensor to be installed in an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, specially when there are constraints on the available bandwidth, allowing a more agile data exchange between the vehicle and a human operator supervising the underwater intervention.

This paper presents the current state of the development of a Wireless HROV (Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle HROV), providing feedback of both, camera and telemetry data to the operator, over an acoustic communication link. This experiment is part of the MERBOTS Spanish national project (www.irs.uji.es/merbots). This work has as main objective the design of a bidirectional transport protocol for wireless teleoperation of an underwater robot using high level commands and a progressive image compression algorithm. Preliminary Hardware In the Loop results combining two S2CR 18/34 modems in a scenario with high level of multi-path, a freshwater pool, and the UWSim simulator are presented. Finally, a ROS-based network simulator that is still in an early stage of development is presented. This simulator will be useful for modeling high-level behavior of any communication device, and to improve high level protocols when the real modems are not available.

Technology has recently been developed which offers an excellent opportunity to design systems with the ability to help people in their own houses. In particular, assisting elderly people in their environments is something that can significantly improve their quality of life. However, helping elderly people outside their usual environment is also necessary, to help them to carry out daily tasks like shopping. In this paper we present a person-following shopping cart assistance robot, capable of helping elderly people to carry products in a supermarket. First of all, the paper presents a survey of related systems that perform this task, using different approaches, such as attachable modules and computer vision. After that, the paper describes in detail the proposed system and its main features. The cart uses ultrasonic sensors and radio signals to provide a simple and effective person localization and following method. Moreover, the cart can be connected to a portable device like a smartphone or tablet, thus providing ease of use to the end user. The prototype has been tested in a grocery store, while simulations have been done to analyse its scalability in larger spaces where multiple robots could coexist.

The Robot Programming Network (RPN) is an initiative for creating a network of robotics education laboratories with remote programming capabilities. It consists of both online open course materials and online servers that are ready to execute and test the programs written by remote students. Online materials include introductory course modules on robot programming, mobile robotics and humanoids, aimed to learn from basic concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to more advanced programming skills. The students have access to the online server hosts, where they submit and run their programming code on the fly. The hosts run a variety of robot simulation environments, and access to real robots can also be granted, upon successful achievement of the course modules. The learning materials provide step-by-step guidance for solving problems with increasing level of difficulty. Skill tests and challenges are given for checking the success, and online competitions are scheduled for additional motivation and fun. Use of standard robotics middleware (ROS) allows the system to be extended to a large number of robot platforms, and connected to other existing tele-laboratories for building a large social network for online teaching of robotics.

While commercially available AUVs are routinely used in survey missions, a new set of applications exist which clearly demand intervention capabilities. The maintenance of permanent underwater observatories, submerged oil wells, cabled sensor networks, pipes and the deployment and recovery of benthic stations are a few of them. These tasks are addressed nowadays using manned submersibles or work-class ROVs, equipped with teleoperated arms under human supervision. Although researchers have recently opened the door to future I-AUVs, a long path is still necessary to achieve autonomous underwater interventions. This paper reviews the evolution timeline in autonomous underwater intervention systems. Milestone projects in the state of the art are reviewed, highlighting their principal contributions to the field. To the best of the authors\&$\#$39; knowledge, only three vehicles have demonstrated some autonomous intervention capabilities so far: ALIVE, SAUVIM and GIRONA 500, being the last one the lightest one. In this paper GIRONA 500 I-AUV is presented and its software architecture discussed. Recent results in different scenarios are reported: (1) valve turning and connector plugging/unplugging while docked to a subsea panel, (2) free floating valve turning using learning by demonstration, and (3) multipurpose free-floating object recovery. The paper ends discussing the lessons learned so far.

Indoor RF-based localization using fingerprint mapping requires an initial training step, which represents a time consuming process. This location methodology needs a database conformed with RSSI (Radio Signal Strength Indicator) measures from the communication transceivers taken at specific locations within the localization area. But, the real world localization environment is dynamic and it is necessary to rebuild the fingerprint database when some environmental changes are made. This paper explores the use of different interpolation functions to complete the fingerprint mapping needed to achieve the sought accuracy, thereby reducing the effort in the training step. Also, different distributions of test maps and reference points have been evaluated, showing the validity of this proposal and necessary trade-offs. Results reported show that the same or similar localization accuracy can be achieved even when only 50\% of the initial fingerprint reference points are taken.

Autonomous manipulation in real underwater environments presents many unexpected situations, such as lack of visibility due to light reflections or presence of particles in the water. Moreover, the use of cameras is still very important, considering that they provide a natural sensor input to the operator, and many robust and efficient underwater manipulation algorithms have been implemented using this kind of sensor. Moreover, underwater applications, especially the ones that may involve interacting with artificial structures like panels, or even with other robots, would be very much improved if the umbilical cable could be substituted by a wireless system, improving so mobility. In that sense, Radio Frequency connection, allowing the transmission of camera input to the operator, would be a potential improvement. The present article describes the system implemented at the TRITON project (www.irs.uji.es/triton) in order to localize a robot arm related to a panel with a valve and a connector, using sonar and radiofrequency techniques, in order to experiment autonomous manipulation under lack of visibility conditions. Moreover, the Radio Frequency system enables the transmission of camera monitoring information at small distances, which has previously been compressed using specific techniques.

Localization of networked mobile sensors and actuators is an active research field. One traditional approach in order to localize a mobile node has been the use of laser sensors. In some special circumstances, like a smoky environment, the use of this type of optical sensor is not a good solution. The use of radio and ultrasound signals can be used as a feasible alternative to node localization. Within the context of the EU GUARDIANS Project (Group of Unmanned Assistant Robots Deployed In Aggregative Navigation supported by Scent detection) one essential aspect is having a simple localization method of a firefighter followed by a squad of robots, that allows tracking their instant position in the space related to the base station. The authors of this paper have been developing hardware devices capable of obtaining relative positions among them and the firefighter, and have studied several networking protocols that can be useful in those situations, using wireless links provided by Wi-Fi cards of the mobile nodes, as well as the sonar sensors and radio synchronization signals.

This paper describes a real-world demonstration that involves two kinds of human-robot interaction: (1) In-situ interaction between a team of robots and a firefighter, and (2) the interaction between a remote operator and the whole system from a base station. The team of robots can provide the firefighter with environmental information to support and enhance its operation in situations where smoke can be present. First of all, the paper describes the overall system, focusing on the devices that are used, and the hardware/software architecture. Then, the paper explains the in-situ human-system interaction which is the way the firefighter interacts with the robot team, by obtaining the information directly to its helmet and by setting up a firefighter following behaviour using both laser and sonar/radio techniques. After that, the paper describes the way the whole system can be monitored and controlled remotely via a base station.

A practical solution based on multi-agent protocols for the development of real-world multi-robot applications is presented. FIPA standard protocols implemented by the JADE library provide the standard functionality for a number of tasks. Robot behaviors are built upon the player middleware. Such components provide off-the-shelf tools which allow a straightforward implementation of indoor localization and navigation tasks for a team of mobile robots. Such integration combines proven mobile robot algorithms with a distributed infrastructure, and extends the capabilities from a robot alone to a whole team of robots, thus allowing the development of cooperative applications. As a proof of concept, an auction-like goal assignment task is presented: the robot team is given a goal, and each robot proposes an estimated cost for achieving it, then the best proposal is selected. Most of the control flow is automated by the standard interaction protocols. Experimental evaluation demonstrates the advantages of combining both frameworks, for a practical yet sound development of multi-robot applications.
