The Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Article Preview

Abstract:

An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with the advantages of compact structure, good mobility and low-cost will be better used in the field of marine scientific research and military application. This paper introduces the bottom-level control subsystem and autonomous navigation algorithm of the low-cost AUV. In order to prove that the control system has good robustness, some simulations and lake tests were conducted. The results show inertial navigation algorithm based on AHRS, digital compass and GPS can achieve good performance.
