Recent Progress in the RAUVI Project: A Reconfigurable Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for Intervention
International Symposium ELMAR-2010, Zadar (Croatia), September, 2010Abstract:
Starting in January 2009, the RAUVI project is a three years coordinated research action funded by the Spanish Ministry of Research and Innovation. This paper shows the research evolution during the first half of RAUVI’s live, bearing in mind that the long term objective is to design and develop an underwater autonomous robot able to perceive the environment and, by means of a specific hand-arm system, perform autonomously simple intervention tasks in shallow waters
