Autonomous Underwater Vehicles : Minutes of weekly meeting on April 9, 2007 This page last changed on Apr 11, 2007 by cmcgann. Present: Frederic, Rob, Hans, Conor Status ========= Rob gave feedback on some model related questions. We can use the rate values from the position vector for velocity and so will not need to extend the state publisher for such data Frederic noted that the cpu & memory tracking stats are integrated (AUT-6) so it is up to Conor to review and close. We briefly discussed the status of the CTD vehicle with Hans. It is going through an overhaul as the bubble had become dislodged and was floating around giving skewed attitude, heading reference data. Hans expects the vehicle to be back on the network late in the week and will let us know when it is ready. Conor will plan to try another integration test with the vehicle at that time. We did a brief walk-through of slides for Kanna's trip. Rob requested a copy of the ICRA workshop paper which Conor will forward. There was some discussion about how best to handle the idle requirements noted in AUT-3. Hans proposed a change in layered control that would support a more aggressive approach to abandon the mission if the AMC does not respond within a certain time frame and also to prevent termination of the mission. See AUT-3 for further details. Rob and Rich to follow up. We all agreed that a regression test suite would be used as a gate for promoting new builds to be sea-ready. The plan is to have all the tests mentioned in the sea-trial running in simulation anyway. In addition, we have been building up additional tests as part of a regression suite. Frederic is working on extending the Agent Logging to enable automation of these regression tests, capturing expected results. We also discussed the possibility of getting battery telemetry as part of the StatePacket from the state publisher. Hans has implmenetd accessors for this data but a new interface will need to be developed to expose it for publication. Conor will generate an issue for this. I think that covers it. If I have missed anything or misrepresented anything, let me know. Conor
