Maritime robotics is a domain that is often overlooked by us land-lubbers. However, the use of robots to perform tasks such as for surveying and cable laying is quite common in the industry. Testing software that runs on such robots in real life is expensive and hard. In this talk we go through different aspects and challenges of maritime simulation and walk through a real life example using ignition-gazebo and the MBARI Tethys. We will be covering hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, acoustic communications and testing. Finally we will discuss future developments with regards to maritime sensors and how you can get involved.
