OCTOPUS put to the test in the deep sea
AEGIR took part in an underwater exploration campaign led by ABYSSA to test OCTOPUS's mission planning tool in real conditions.
Preparing a deep-sea exploration mission means combining objectives, available assets, technical and human constraints and operating conditions. Making it faster and easier to build that mission plan is one of the functions of OCTOPUS.
During the campaign, the plans generated by OCTOPUS were compared, on several real cases, with those drawn up by the operators using their usual practices. AEGIR’s teams assessed the relevance of the proposed plans, gained a better understanding of field practices and constraints, and identified the improvements to make. These lessons now feed the next development phase.
This work contributes to the 4MUST project, funded by Bpifrance and carried out with ABYSSA and RTsys.
