Abstract

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are robotic submarines that are a part of the emerging field of autonomous and unmanned vehicles. AUVs are valued for both their expand ability and replace ability; they can be deployed in hazardous environments without risking human divers. Economically, the potential for cheap scalability makes AUVs ideal for large scale and long term data collection tasks. This project shows the design and development an AUV as a test bed platform for a variety of research in underwater technologies especially involving small-scale, surface water and low-cost underwater robots. The prototype has been developed and will have a fixed mechanical system and body, having a modular electronic system that allows development of various controllers, as well as able to add some recording devices and sensors module. The controller and motors has been tested in small scale surface water and the result is encouraging. Some modification need to be done to the electronic parts as it also can be used for testing and learning conventional and advanced control algorithms and techniques to other underwater systems.
