Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.

Abstract (eng): The SWARM underwater system, which consists of multiple, homogenous robots, is a project for monitoring the Baltic Sea environments.
The unit of the system is a Lagrangan type rosot which can control its depth by changing the buoyancy using a piston engine, and moves otherwise freely with the sea water flows.
The depth control of the robots is very important for the performance of the whole system.

This thesis provides an energy optimal diving control algorithm for the SWARM robots to improve the performance and energy consumption of the diving process.
De to the nonlinear environment and dynamics, most of the classical theories may not achieve good results and consume much energy.
The environment based depth control algorithm estimates the water density by a density model, which is built from previous information or measurement.
By reducing the piston movements, much energy can be saved than the previous control algorithm.

The Baltic environments are studied and the physical water properties including salinity, temperature, pressure and density are analyzed.
Result proves the availability of the seawater properties model in diving control.
Different methods of measuring seawater density and updating the environment model are evaluated, and the environment based control algorithm is tested in the simulator.
Error and energy consumption are analyzed and the result shows the diving performance is improved significantly.
