  • Abstract
    Micro-Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (μAUVs) can form the basis of mobile underwater sensor networks for monitoring sub-surface cluttered environments. There are numerous technical challenges involved in constructing such vehicles using off-the-shelf components. This paper presents progress to date in the design of such a system, the problems encountered and possible solutions.
