Development of a low cost autonomous underwater vehicle for Antarctic exploration

Abstract:

This paper describes the design and construction of a Low Cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle prototype for Antarctic Exploration to use it in the Ecuadorian Expedition to the Scientific Base Pedro Vicente Maldonado in Antarctica. This AUV can work as a platform to transport scientific payload in a determined path. The AUV length is less than 2m. Results of some systems of the AUV from laboratory, sea trials and Antarctic environment are show. © 2011 IEEE.
