Abstract :
The present work shows an ongoing project named RAUVI (i.e. Reconfigurable AUV for Intervention). This project aims to design and develop an underwater autonomous robot, able to perceive the environment by means of acoustic and optic sensors, and equipped with a robotic arm in order to autonomously perform simple intervention tasks. A complete simulation environment, including this new concept of robot, has been developed and it is presented as preliminary result.
