TUTORIAL 9 INTRO: GEM & FAIR data in marine robotics
The problem of designing and implementing Good Experimental Methodologies, including procedures for replicable experiments and effective performance indexes, as well as a pipeline for highly automatised sharing of FAIR data of marine robotics experiments is open yet. A demonstration of how to do it for the basic case of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle executing straight line-following will be provided with the support of CNR-INM SWAMP ASV. A straight line-following guidance algorithms, co-designed by CNR and UoB in the framework of the MONUSEN project, will be implemented and used for illustrating the proposed procedures for replicable experiment execution, computation of performance indexes, and FAIR data storage.
