The NPS Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle Workbench (AUVW) is experimental open-source software that supports physics-based mission rehearsal, real-time task-level control of robot missions, and replay of recorded results in support of autonomous unmanned underwater, surface and air vehicles.
Users are provided with multiple views for a simple 2D plot, geographic layers, and X3D graphics visualization and telemetry plotting capabilities. Missions are written using the Autonomous Vehicle Command Language (AVCL). Together these lead to an in-depth understanding of robot operations. Extensible 3D (X3D) graphics, KML and other open data standards are used throughout. This cross-platform software is implemented using Java and XML, using shared version control and best practices for maximum repeatability and usefulness.
