Towards Centimeter-Scale Underwater Mobile Robots: An Architecture for Capable µAUVs

Pascal Spino,Daniela Rus,Pascal Spino,Daniela Rus

Underwater robots are indispensable for aquatic exploration, yet their size and complexity often limit broader application. This research presents a pioneering micro autonomous underwater vehicle (µAUV) design. This robot is distinguished by its utilization of mass-produced drone components, novel jet propulsion mechanisms, and multifunctional spherical shell. Its architecture is modular, appendag...
