Some Concepts used when Creating an AUV.

Closed Loop Systems – The basic Concept.

Buoyancy – Buoyancy Force, Archimedes Principle, Balance

Moving Underwater – Roll, Pitch, Yaw, Depth, Moving in a Fluid.

Maintaining Course – Compass, Gyroscope etc..

Vision in Computers – Transferring an Image to Data

Hardware Programming – Developing software for Micro controllers and vavious sensors.

Hearing in the Water – RADAR, SONAR, etc..

Teamwork – How to organize an Engineering Project

Fundraising – Equipment and resources are not free.

These are some of the main concepts that every team deals with when designing an Autonomous Underwater Vehicale.  This section should give you a greater understanding of what goes into a project of this scale as well as learning what various engineering challenges we face.
