Experimental study on an underwater robotic vehicle: ODIN

Abstract

As underwater application activities mature, the utilization of underwater robotic vehicles becomes more notable. The sophistication required by these URVs have significantly increased, and the development of AUVs are becoming imminent. The Autonomous Systems Laboratory of the University of Hawaii has designed the Omni-Directional Intelligent Navigator (ODIN), its control systems, and its graphic workstation to develop an integrated, real-time, 3-dimensional graphic test platform.
