Considering realistic characteristics of acoustic localization methods is crucial for roboticists when developing guidance and control algorithms for small and agile underwater robots. Current simulators either rely purely on geometric distancing, i.e. do not consider dynamic effects such as robot motion during acoustic signal propagation, or they are too complex for usage by non-communication exp...
