Eine Forschergruppe der Universität Ulm (Deutschland) arbeitet in Kooperation mit dem Roboat-Team von INNOC an einem CHR-basierten Ansatz für das Long-Term-Routing von autonomen Segelbooten.

Das Projekt wird im Rahmen des Seventh International Workshop on Constraint Handling Rules am 20. Juli 2010 in Edinburgh (UK) vorgestellt.

Long-term routing for autonomous sail boats with CHR  (Ayman Adel Abdelsamie Abdelaal, Frank Raiser, Thom Frühwirth, and Roland Stelzer)

Abstract:
Robotic sailing is a continuously improving field of research. Finding
an optimum route for each sailing trip is one of the important and
complex tasks for a robotic sailboat. This thesis puts the building
blocks for long-term routing in robotic sail boats. It introduces a
front end for long-term routing based on Constraint Handling Rules as it
is used to implement the routing algorithm. This front end provides a
rotatable and zoomable simulation for the earth with the ability to
represent forecast data for wind directions and speeds. Beside a normal
user interface for this application, it has a multi-touch enabled user
interface.
