Pretty Interesting stuff. David Chandler from the MIT News Office writes of "New methods and software developed at MIT can predict optimal paths for automated underwater vehicles" These will help with the realtime changes of the underwater system the drones are traveling through.
One of the problems stated in the article below is that it had so much computational data to go through real time adjustments were difficult.
Anyone who has swam in a flowing body of water can attest to the fact that continuous adjustments need to be made. Many changes can affect current. Tidal considerations, wind, even a moving vehicle like a jetski can affect you.
MIT will present their research in May to the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation
