Abstract :
We present the design of an autonomous underwater vehicle and a simulation system for AUVs as part of the initiative for establishing a new international competition for autonomous underwater vehicles, both physical and simulated. This paper describes the competition outline with sample tasks, as well as the construction of the AUV and the simulation platform.
