Abstract
This paper describes the development of an autonomous underwater vehicle for a competition that gives participants the opportunity to experience the engineering challenges of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems and develop skills in underwater technology. The competition focuses on the autonomous operations in the pool, with four tasks to be completed. The inertial measurement unit, depth sensor and Pixy (CMUcam5) camera are used in AUV navigation, while Arduino Uno is used for the overall controls. Field test has been conducted during the Malaysian Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge (MAUVC) during the IEEE 7th International Conference on Underwater System Technology USYS in Kuala Lumpur. The outcome of the test will be studied for the preparation of the next Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge, which will be held in Singapore.
