IQUA Robotics software

COLA2 (Component Oriented Layer-based Architecture for Autonomy) is the ROS-based software architecture running in the underwater vehicles from Iqua Robotics. It includes a full control stack, a localization module with a navigation filter, a set of safety-related nodes and all the necessary drivers to communicate with the available hardware. Thus, COLA2 endows Iqua vehicles with a complete software suite that turns them in fully operational AUVs. Besides, it also sets the basis for further development of more advanced functions.

IQUAview is the graphical user interface (GUI) that allows to operate the family of vehicles from Iqua Robotics in a simple and user-friendly manner. IQUAview provides a front-end to the COLA2 architecture in order to be able to communicate with the robot, configure a basic set of parameters, plan missions and monitor them using an intuitive graphical interface based in a QGIS backend.

SoundTiles is a stand-alone software to create acoustic maps using forward-looking sonar data.
