Autonomous navigation of Underwater ROV
- Developed a UNet model and YOLO v8 model and custom dataset for pipeline detection using segmentation
- Built a virtual underwater test environment in Gazebo using UUV Simulator to test pipe detection model and simulated ROV
- Developed RRT-based path-planning algorithm for pre-defined occupancy grid
- Developed a PCA based vectorization method for pose estimation of the pipeline
- Tested PID controller for alignment of ROV with the pipeline
- Currently working on software and hardware integration with physical testing on BlueROV2
