Seafloor Mapping through Coordinated Motion of the ASC/AUV team 5. Object recovery from a free floating AUV/ARM/HAND system 18 Two TR, one about the cooperative navigation of the ASC/I-AUV robot team (D1.1) and another one concerning integrated bottom-path-following and compliant leader following control strategies (D2.1), have been submitted in due time. 18 Two TR, one concerning the methodology aspects and requirements on the Multisensory and knowledge-based approach architecture for grasping and dexterous manipulation (D7.1) and another one, about the visual and acoustic image processors under development for the project (D4.1), have been submitted in due time. 24 The expected TR on the design of the hand/arm system (D6.1) was submitted in due time. During this month of April, the final integration process is ending in Spain (Girona), with cooperation of UNIBO (responsible of this task), UdG and GT. 33 Advances in M4 require previous success in some tasks whose progress has been reported in deliverables D1.1 (AUV/ASC cooperative navigation), D2.1 (bottom path-following control strategies), D4.1 (image processors), all of them on schedule. 34 M5 concerns the final experimental validation of TRIDENT. So, Jointly effort of the whole Consortium is crucial for its achievement. Letting apart the aforementioned necessary deliverables, a TR on overall system modelling, including all variables needed for reactive coordination (D5.1) has been presently submitted.

38 the vicinity, thus allowing for its integration in the near future onboard the G-500 I- AUV. It was also possible to successfully operate Field Experiments (Roses Oct 11) the USBL from the surface, providing the position estimate of a transponder installed on-board a support vessel. The homing control law that was previously developed was successfully integrated in ROS jointly with the Heriot-Watt University, in a reduced period of time. It was possible to validate the software integration and the control law performance at sea with minimal effort, thus paving the way to joint efforts to pursue the next steps in TRIDENT roadmap. System was tested. Finally, we integrated video based motion estimation algorithms and control strategies for homing developed at the University of the Balearic Islands, Spain, and the Instituto Superior Tecnico of Lisbon, Portugal. Both were tested successfully. A week later in Mallorca, UIB and HWU collaborated mounting the UBI stereo pair on Nessie AUV to test visual dead rckoning. The arm will be equipped with a 3 fingered hand system (UNIBO) able to do a much advanced grasping that the one being carried out currently using the light weight arm 5E currently mounted on GIRONA500 I-AUV. The final arm/ hand/ AUV integration will be completed before March a reduced period of tim validate the software in law performance at sea paving the way to joint steps in TRIDENT road TRIDENT - Newsletter October
