Abstract
Underwater testbeds are key tools for performance evaluation of underwater communication and coordination algorithms to enable swarming of autonomous vehicles. We describe a demonstration of underwater vehicle team formation and steering algorithms using our underwater testbed. The tesdbed allows the user to configure ocean currents and underwater communication parameters so to study properties of these algorithms such as stability, robustness, and convergence.
