  • Abstract
    This paper presents an initial development stage of mini Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs). Due to the factors of complexity in instrument deployment, expensive tools for marine applications, time and resources consuming for data collections, swarming concept is proposed by using mini ASVs. This paper is focused upon the research and the early developmental stage of a Drosophila robot or DrosoBOT. Modification of the robots has been made based on the factors influencing the pre experimental deployment when tested at a swimming pool.
