Abstract

This paper describes the experience of UTeM AUV team during an autonomous underwater vehicle international competition. The competition provides the participants with the opportunity to experience the engineering challenges during the development of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems. The competition focuses on underwater vehicle technology development that emphasizes on the autonomous operations of the vehicle in a swimming pool.
