             Robot Mission Rehearsal and Replay using the
              Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle (AUV) Workbench

The Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle (AUV) Workbench supports physics-based
mission rehearsal, real-time task-level control of robot missions, and
replay of recorded results in support of unmanned underwater, surface
and air vehicles.  Geographic information system (GIS) layers, a 2D
geographic plot and an X3D visualization capability provide operators
with multiple views and an improved understanding of robot operations.

Extensible 3D (X3D) graphics and other open data standards are used
throughout, implemented using open-source software for maximum
repeatability and usefulness.  Software version control, autoinstallers,
online software update capability, bug tracking and an archived mailing
list enable group usage of shared assets.

Attendees are encouraged to bring laptop computers in order to install
and run the AUV Workbench.  We will build and rehearse a wide variety
of robot missions, and also  examine recent robot-telemetry results
for air, surface and underwater missions performed during the June 2007
AUV Fest off Panama City Florida.  Configuring and adding new robot
types and models is encouraged.  Recent NPS student studies and theses
from a large academic research archive will also be summarized.
