Efficient Maneuvering and Control Designing of Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV)

Abstract

The autonomous underwater vehicles become progressively important with the advances in underwater robotics technology. Nowadays, AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) can be used in many fields including geographical research, search, rescue and defence system. This paper reports a successful project of path planning control system for Underwater mobile robot vehicles based on Arduino that modified the others navigational approaches for underwater robot vehicles. Efficient and optimal path planning control system is crucial for underwater mobile robot and autonomous underwater vehicle operations. In this paper, we develop and demonstrate an efficient underwater path planning control system with the android application and surveillance function for the Underwater Mobile Robot based on the Arduino Mega 2560 R3. For this research, the cost will be optimum and using an easy to obtain parts. Specifically, the goal of this study is to compute the paths of underwater robot vehicles by using an Arduino which can travel by itself without direct control from the operator.
