In one aspect, there is provided a marine sensor platform that includes: a line having a plurality of slots that are spaced apart on the line, a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node configured to couple to each of the slots on the line, and each sensor node including at least one sensor, a power source coupled to the plurality of sensor nodes and configured to supply power to the plurality of sensor nodes on the line, and a controller coupled to the power source and the plurality of sensor nodes on the line, wherein the controller is configured to identify a type of the at least one sensor included in each of the sensor nodes when each of the sensor nodes is coupled to the respective slot on the line.

Daisy chained marine sensor platform

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium that provides an enhanced synchronization framework. One of the methods includes a primary and a second device that receive configuration information which identifies one or more actions to be performed by the secondary device when it receives specified pulses of a sequence of pulses from the primary device. The primary device transmits a sequence of pulses. The primary and the secondary device receive a particular pulse from the sequence of pulses. The secondary device determines whether the particular pulse satisfies one or more predetermined criteria and generates an instruction based on the determination.

Enhanced synchronization framework

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that control devices in an aquaculture environment. One of the methods includes determining a particular objective for a robot that is operating in an aquaculture environment and determining one or more sensed conditions that are associated with the aquaculture environment. The particular objective is provided to an anti-fish-startling model evaluation engine that is configured to output actions, for a given objective, that accomplish the given objective while reducing a startling effect on nearby fish. Based on providing the particular objective to the anti-fish-startling model evaluation engine, one or more particular actions for accomplishing the particular objective are determined. The one or more particular actions are transmitted to another device.

Framework for controlling devices

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that validate the synchronization of controllers in an aquaculture environment. One of the methods includes an image processor that receives images generated by a first image generating device that includes a light filter that is associated with light of a particular light frequency while an aquaculture environment was illuminated with light. Based on the image that was generated by the first image generating device, the image processor determines whether the intensity value of the light frequency in the image satisfies a threshold value. Based on determining whether the intensity value of the light frequency in the image satisfies the threshold value, the image processor determines whether the aquaculture environment was illuminated with light of the particular light frequency when the image was generated. The image processor provides for output an indication of whether the aquaculture was illuminated with light of the particular frequency when the image was generated.

According to an aspect, a system includes a battery configured to be charged by a power source, a charging circuit coupled to the battery, and a battery charging manager configured to communicate with the charging circuit to control a charging of the battery by the power source. The battery charging manager obtains a charge pattern including an end charge time corresponding to a time when the battery is estimated to be disconnected from the power source. The battery charging manager controls the charging circuit to charge, over a first charging period, the battery to a temporary charge level, maintain, over a relaxation period, a battery charge level between the temporary charge level and a maintenance charge level, and charge, over a second charging period after the relaxation period, the battery to a maximum battery charge level before the end charge time.
