A Comparison Study of Biologically Inspired Propulsion Systems for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle.
Christopher Mark WattsThe field of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) has increased dramatically in size and scope over the past two decades. Application areas for AUVs are numerous and varied; from deep sea exploration, to pipeline surveillance to mine clearing. However, one limiting factor with the current technology is the duration of missions that can be undertaken and one contributing factor to this is the efficiency of the propulsion system,which is usually based on marine propellers.
