Abstract

The Autonomous Systems Laboratory is in the midst of developing an advanced underwater robotic technology test platform. The platform consists of the Omni-Directional Intelligent Navigator (ODIN) and the Integrated Graphic Workstation (IGW). ODIN is a six degree-of-freedom (dof) underwater vehicle with dual operational modes (autonomous and tethered) and a single dof mechanical manipulator. IGW is a real-time, 3-dimensional graphic monitoring, testing, and evaluation workstation. This paper presents ODIN's mechanical and electrical specifications; its vehicle dynamics and depth control system; its recent simulation and experimental results; and IGW's specifications.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
