Namely, the Ground Control Station (GCS), Onboard Mission Manager (MM), and the radio inter-connectivity frameworks—long range WIFI—the GCS and MM require the greatest amount of planning, design and testing. This design and testing should include forward thinking analysis of sensor capability and expansion. Secondarily, propulsion, power distribution and power management systems have almost equal importance to the overall success of the project mission rounding out the four areas. The goal is to develop a robust operating system design, scalable to handle the addition of sensors such as LIDAR, SONAR, RADAR, GPS/IMU, HD Vision and perception, as well as environmental weather, set and drift indicators/detectors, and propulsion control and feedback. The lack of rock-solid navigation, and positional uncertainty problems have plagued many of the RobotX competitors in the past. While the EE/CS team focuses on the computing infrastructure being constructed and tested. The ME teams will focus on the propulsion design and testing with two major goals: designing the propulsion control system to function under direct remote control—essential for initial deployment and placement of the platform—and secondly, semi-autonomous control via the GCS and MM, using waypoint concepts integrated with GPS and platform drift. Every attempt will be made to prove algorithm by algorithm performance, first with simulation, then a technique called ‘hardware-in-the-loop’. Hardware-in-the-loop consists on systematically replacing simulated sections, piece by piece, with real hardware proving the stimulus processing is reliable. Designing the MM this way allows for Sim-to-Hardware swap if a Subsystem fails and trouble-shooting in the field needs to take place.

Initial Challenge
2022 will be the first OCRobotX Team event, and will present significant challenges. Primarily, raising the money to purchase the material items required, and travel costs associated with the competition in Australia. Moreover, the basic task of putting together a complete engineering group, and designing from startup the primary WAM-V Subsystems, coupled with the AI development, will likely force the team to confine itself to the Maritime Platform only and forego the UAV component of the competition. The WAM-V focus only, should not be considered an under-achievement by any means, considering the short ramp-up.
Major Focus Areas
There are four major essential areas that must be designed, integrated, and proven, prior to any major sensor package development. Namely, the Ground Control Station (GCS), Onboard Mission Manager (MM), and the radio inter-connectivity frameworks—long range WIFI—the GCS and MM require the greatest amount of planning, design and testing. This design and testing should include forward thinking analysis of sensor capability and expansion. Secondarily, propulsion, power distribution and power management systems have almost equal importance to the overall success of the project mission rounding out the four areas. The goal is to develop a robust operating system design, scalable to handle the addition of sensors such as LIDAR, SONAR, RADAR, GPS/IMU, HD Vision and perception, as well as environmental weather, set and drift indicators/detectors, and propulsion control and feedback. The lack of rock-solid navigation, and positional uncertainty problems have plagued many of the RobotX competitors in the past. While the EE/CS team focuses on the computing infrastructure being constructed and tested. The ME teams will focus on the propulsion design and testing with two major goals: designing the propulsion control system to function under direct remote control—essential for initial deployment and placement of the platform—and secondly, semi-autonomous control via the GCS and MM, using waypoint concepts integrated with GPS and platform drift. Every attempt will be made to prove algorithm by algorithm performance, first with simulation, then a technique called ‘hardware-in-the-loop’. Hardware-in-the-loop consists on systematically replacing simulated sections, piece by piece, with real hardware proving the stimulus processing is reliable. Designing the MM this way allows for Sim-to-Hardware swap if a Subsystem fails and trouble-shooting in the field needs to take place. This technique also allows a complete system and pseudo-mission rehearsal prior to each in-water event.
Previous Experience, Lessons Learned
Several of the RobotX team members in late 2019, designed and constructed a CrawlerBot (see http://ocrobotx.org/mediawiki/index.php/Holonomic_Robotic_Platform#Project_Purpose) using holonomic drive techniques in anticipation of using that experiential knowledge as an approach vector to design a more complex WAM-V propulsion system. It is apparent to the experienced team members that a combination of straightforward linear propulsion systems that can be mechanically articulated into a holonomic drive system presents the best of both options: speed when needed, and fine-grained maneuverability required to complete complex navigation maneuvers. Power management presents a large opportunity for design consideration with respect to the computing network and infrastructure for sensor data processing, and AI backbone. Raspberry PI 4 computing has proven itself to be a very capable processing platform, hosting Python, MATLAB APIs, and other AI plugins. Distributed computing of multiple PIs can provide cluster computing performance, at literally a fraction of the super-computer cost, and using a miniscule amount of the power consumption. Linux, ROS, Python, and MATLAB are the primary software staples of the processing infrastructure required to complete the project, as well as embedded microcontroller devices similar to Arduinos.
Three primary sensor inputs, as well as advanced processing must be achieved to meet minimum competition status, namely: LIDAR, Vision and perception, and GPS/IMU. The EE/CS teams will divide the tasks among smaller working groups with articulated development and test events, as well as key subsystem integration milestones. LIDAR processing, vision mapping and AI perception, as well as occupancy grid development becomes critical as the project timeline progresses, since all of the competition tasks rely on mapping the field and interacting appropriately with the objects located in the range. The team has allocated funds to construct training aids to be deployed along with the WAM-V test phases, providing a competition range facsimile for training.
Secondary sensor development involves depth sounding/echo sounding sensors for bottom contour mapping which facilitates ground collision avoidance. Finally, SONAR ping detection, discrimination, ranging, and localization is also required to negotiate several of the competition challenges. The ME teams’ secondary task is to develop the projectile launcher required for the ‘Dock and Deliver Challenge’. The in-water testing phase will primarily occur after the Vision-Perception algorithms and hardware have been range tested.
Document the approach
All design, development and test phases will be documented scrupulously as part of the team academic rigor. The OCRobotX team will employ the concept of ‘The Digital Ecosystem’. The digital ecosystem (DE) goes hand-in-hand with the concept of Subsystem Integration plan. All team members will be trained to understand the significance of digital artifacts and how these products support the project. Digital artifacts are defined as: project specifications, technical drawings, design documents, interface management documents, analytical results, bills of material (BOM), work breakdown structures (WBS), machining instructions, test procedures and test results and lastly schedules to include development, design, building, test, and integration. The project leadership is responsible for communicating the requirements as well as the appropriate artifacts and their purpose. The primary importance of digital artifacts becomes apparent during system integration, and producing the engineering paper required for the RobotX presentation. One critical function the DE fills, is to produce Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) to relevant stake holders, proving the engineering team has reached specific milestones in the development project, e,g. satisfying a progress audit by ONR, or WSU and OC staff. Since all of the DE is considered non-proprietary by RoboNation Standards, the OCRobotX team has opted to make all of the DE available at any time to the public via the OCRobotX Wiki located at: http://ocrobotx.org/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page. The OC engineering club has most of the minutes published online since the first club meeting where the decision was made to participate in the competition (see http://ocrobotx.org/mediawiki/index.php/OC_Engineering_Club org).
AI Focus
Design efficiency in learning heuristics will leverage work by previous team publications. The team will work to design an AI that is capable of determining the efficacy of its own decision making, i.e., the probability of mission success. This feedback can help the designers shape the machine and deep learning algorithms to maximize mission performance. One particular example would be an AI that monitors the power system to determine if the platform has the energy required to complete a range of tasks.
Time line Projection
The master timeline for fundraising and development will take all of the time between the summer of 2021 through to November of 2022. A detailed Work Breakdown Schedule is embedded as two Gantt charts weekly and monthly. It is expected that momentum for the project will grow past the twenty students listed if ONR awards the platform to the OC-WSU Team.

Management Approach
|
|
(0.5 Page Maximum) – Give a brief description of management approach to carry out the program successfully. |
Project Management Approach
The scale of the RobotX competition requires a strong project management approach to facilitate a good performance at the event. Applicants should consider the overall budget required to build a competitive system, and all logistics required to participate in the competition. Recruiting team members and organizing and scheduling the team workforce are important aspects of team management. Developing a plan of action and milestones to meet system development and testing is critical. Dedicated activities to ensure the required level of sponsorship will be necessary.
Budget
As part of your proposal, include a budget, including as much detail as possible regarding the basis for the estimates. Include areas of uncertainty and how you have addressed them in your estimate.Consider total costs for participation in RobotX, taking into account elements such as hardware and software tools and equipment, parts, labor, shipping, airfare, lodging, food, and other factors inherent to competing at the event in Sydney, Australia. Except in the most unusual cases, it will be necessary for each team to attract additional financial and technical support from industry, local businesses, and organizations. Describe your recent experience in attracting meaningful sponsorship in past competitions or activities. 1 April 2021
Logistics and Personnel
Include as much detail as possible about your plans to transport the WAM-V (it will be delivered to you in its own custom, reusable shipping case), any additional paraphernalia, equipment, tools, and personnel to Sydney, Australia. Consider the logistics required to ship the equipment across international borders and allocate enough time in your project timeline. Describe in as much detail as is now known, the size of your full team, your on�site team, and team associates.
Schedule and Timeline
Consider the timeline between now and the competition and lay out a notional schedule for your project. This should include at a minimum designing, building, testing, and shipping the system to and from the competition. Estimate the time it will take to design and build or procure the parts, as well as testing time. Don’t forget to take into account academic schedules, holidays, access to facilities, and any other factors that may impact your ability to prepare for and participate in the competition.The following key elements will be considered when evaluating your Project Management approach:
- The realism of the estimated costs and expected availability of funds for team support, vehicle shipment (inbound and outbound), team travel (to include lodging and local transportation), and other expenses.
- Reasonableness of schedule with sufficient time allocated for elements of system design, building, and testing.
- Plan for recruiting talent (team members and advisors), and sponsorship (monetary as well as equipment and facilities).
- Any letters of support from industry, government, university, etc. (This will not count in your 6-page limit.
